As an aspiring copywriter and marketing professional, I strive to provide a voice for the voiceless. I feel that it is critical to uplift minorities in all areas of life, whether personal or professional. I am a driven and creative student, who is passionate about my work and my message. I pride myself in being a quick-learner and detail-oriented. With every piece of work I create, I ensure that different perspectives are addressed and included, leaving no stone unturned.
