Hello there!
 
I am so glad you are here.
 
I am an entry-level public relations specialist passionate about social media, brand and influencer partnerships, and brand storytelling.
 
Although my expertise is primarily in PR, I am also a strong storyteller and journalist. I believe these skills complement each other because every brand and organization has a story to tell, and I want to help tell it.
 
I have been working in journalism since I was 15. Throughout high school, I was on my school's newspaper staff for all four years and my yearbook staff for two. Taking those classes early on in my education helped pave the way to where I am today. 
 
I recently graduated from Western Washington University with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations and a minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. My academic coursework, along with my internship experiences, has provided me with a strong understanding of public relations.
 
To summarize my experience so far, I have organized and promoted events for brands such as Prada Beauty, Bloomingdale's, Hästens, and Trophy Cupcakes. Additionally, I have over two years of experience in social media content planning and creation, gained during my time at Crunch & Brunch and my college fashion magazine, The Rage.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I hope you take the time to check out my portfolio, and please do not hesitate to reach out at livicarda@hotmail.com.
