Student Program Coordinator | Integrated Strategic Communication Major and Digital Media & Design Minor Student @ University of Kentucky
Hi, I’m Mariana Moraes, a creative storyteller and marketer who loves transforming ideas into experiences that connect. With over three years of experience in social media strategy, event marketing, and digital storytelling, I help brands uncover their authentic voice and create content that connects. My background spans everything from managing campaigns for the University of Kentucky Police Department to producing visual mini-series for Feather & Blade, where I blend creativity with strategy to build meaningful engagement. I’ve also worked behind the scenes on press releases, influencer outreach, and community events — including Lexington’s annual Holiday Parade — where I learned how powerful storytelling can bring people together. When I’m not crafting brand narratives or editing reels, you can find me spending time with friends, watching a new show, or taking photos.
