Accomplishments

I successfully completed a specialized Graphic Design program at the University of Florida, where I mastered the principles of visual communication, branding, UI/UX design, and creative software tools such as Adobe Creative Suite. This training enhanced my ability to conceptualize and execute compelling visual identities for brands and digital platforms.

Building on that foundation, I went on to earn my Master of Business Administration (MBA), equipping myself with advanced knowledge in strategic marketing, organizational leadership, project management, and data-driven decision-making. This combination of creative and business expertise allows me to approach design not only from an artistic standpoint but also through a strategic lens that aligns with business goals and customer experience.

My academic accomplishments reflect a commitment to both innovation and performance, and they position me to thrive in multidisciplinary environments where design, branding, and business outcomes intersect.
