Background/Education/Experience
I graduated from Hilliard Darby High School with an honors diploma, and a Bilingual certificate. I'm currently working on my bachelors in the University of Cincinnati, where I major in Communications and minor in Marketing. I've been working ever since I turned 13. I worked as a Soccer Referee for a year, then as a Team Assistant in Ten Pin Alley for 3 years, which lead me to become a Front of House Team Member with Target for a few months. Following my leave, I joined Chipotle as a Crew Member where I've worked for 2 years to help afford college with their Tuition Reimbursement Program. Since 2023, I've also been a Marketing Matchday Intern at the Columbus Crew, where I recently got renewed for the 2024 season. I'm also my dad's manager for his art career, as DAZA Arte.
Organizations & clubs
At the University of Cincinnati, I'm currently the Public Relations chair of Latinx En Accion, which is UC's biggest Latinx student organization. I'm also in Latinx Mentorship Program, where I mentor a younger Latinx student to help guide them through the university and their career. Outside of UC, I'm a Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholar, and I attended the HSF Media & Entertainment Summit in November 2023. I'm a LAGRANT Foundation Alumni, as I was chosen as a scholar and invited to attend their summit in New York City in May 2023.
What languages do you speak?
English & Spanish, both native
Hobbies & interests
I'm a very passionate person, with passions in all kinds of areas. My main passions are in the Media & Entertainment field, such as soccer, movies, music, concerts, news and sports. I love being active and always learning and having something to do. I love trying new things, and being challenged to me is always an opportunity for growth. I'm interested in working towards a position where I can create an impact on those around me with my story and education, and to help those who don't have someone who looks like them to look up to, as I wish I had when I was younger.
Looking for:
networking, employment, friendships, mentorship
