About Me.
Hello! Nice to virtually meet you.
​
I’m Stevie, a recent graduate from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Advertising and Brand Strategy with a minor in Communication Studies.
With my natural affinity for creativity paired with an analytical mindset, I sought a career that would allow me to utilize my personality to the fullest. I began my college journey in graphic design, where I sharpened my digital design skills and learned to bring ideas to life visually. It wasn’t until UNT launched its advertising program that I found my calling. Advertising felt like the perfect fit—it allowed me to fuse my creative insight with strategic thinking to craft meaningful experiences.
As a data-driven storyteller, I thrive in team environments and am passionate about translating numbers into narratives, solving advertising challenges, and influencing audiences.
As a hobby, I continue graphic design and photography:
It keeps me creative!
