Communication Specialist
As a Communication Specialist, I managed the university's social media accounts and verified that all published content was reliable. I actively participated in creating content to feed these platforms, demonstrating my mastery of Adobe Creative applications (such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier Pro). Additionally, I wrote articles of social interest for the university community and also assisted with scripts for formal events. Furthermore, I participated in the logistics and preparation of seminars, graduations, and presentations. Similarly, I photographed several of these events. Likewise, I was in charge of directing and producing a television program, in which we conducted interviews with diverse members of the university staff. We filmed this program in the university's television studio.

Community Manager Intern
While I was an undergraduate student at Anahuac Mayab University, I got selected for an online internship with the European University of Rome. As a Community Manager Intern, I copy-wrote several of their posts for social media. Furthermore, I designed invitations, posters, and announcements for their events. As a result, I developed terrific time management and soft skills, due to the time difference I had with the team (them being in Italy while I was in Mexico).
