PORTFOLIO
"The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary." – Vidal Sassoon. These words have been my guiding principle as I’ve navigated the challenges and triumphs of my life.
My time at Auburn University was more than just earning a degree in Marketing; it was about honing my skills and pushing the boundaries of creativity. From crafting compelling visuals in Photoshop to editing videos that tell a story, I’ve developed a sharp eye for design and a passion for creating impactful content.
