I have extensive experience in social media management and digital content creation, including designing ad campaigns, promoting businesses and creating videos and social media posts in collaboration with brands.

I also write content for email marketing campaigns, blog posts, websites and social media pages. 

My services include:

• Social Media Management

In addition, I run a lifestyle and fashion blog called The Happy Floridian. I produce unique social media content, design graphics and frequently look to improve my blog through SEO optimization and online outreach. I have worked with nationally-recognized brands, collaborated with small businesses on content creation concepts and frequently come up with creative and relatable social media posts.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida in December 2015 with a Bachelor's Degree in journalism and a minor in digital media. My past experience includes eight years of design experience with The New York Times and roles with The Lake City Reporter, The Orlando Sentinel and iHeart Media.
