I am a proactive, creative, organized, innovative person who is able to work independently and as part of a team. I have 7 years of work experience but I have more than 10 years of experience in Adobe programs. My passion is illustration and photography, but in recent years I have developed a taste for email design and digital animation. Two years ago I moved from Costa Rica to Charlotte, with the desire to grow professionally.

I’m fluent in English and Spanish. I got my bachelor’s degree in advertising design, at Universidad Veritas (2018).
