A Bit About Me
Currently, in my role as Marketing and Communications Manager at Cal State LA, I am responsible for the day-to-day communications for the College of Business & Economics (CBE). Within my first month of employment, I created the college’s first annual dean’s report highlighting all student, faculty, and staff achievements. For the dual purpose of attracting prospective students and engaging with current students and alumni, I oversee the design of all CBE marketing materials. Using creative content to enhance search engine optimization, I also lead website redesign efforts on behalf of the CBE.
Prior to joining Cal State LA, I was the PR Manager for the top luxury real estate brokerage in Beverly Hills, CA for nearly three years. Here, I honed my skills in strategy development, project management and copywriting; along with managed all media, press, PR, and corporate communications.
