Digital Cinema Production Grad | CEO, Marketing Manager, Project Coordinator
With a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Cinema Production from DePaul University, I have a strong foundation in media and entertainment. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Joystik, I led the company's strategic vision and growth. My experience as a Marketing Campaign Manager at We Shape This honed my skills in driving brand awareness and customer engagement. I also served as a Product Marketing & Customer Success Manager at Mintplex, gaining valuable insights into product marketing and customer relations. Previously, at AGBO, I provided high-level administrative support as an Executive Assistant and Project Coordinator, and contributed to the company's development efforts. These roles have equipped me with a diverse skill set in leadership, marketing, and project coordination.
