I’m from Canton, Georgia originally, but I made my way to San Diego in 2021 for college at the University of San Diego. At USD I majored in Marketing with a minor in International business. This past May, I graduated with my BBA in Marketing as a first generation biracial grad! I am so excited to be interning with PPM because their work alines with my love for community engagement, development, education and change making. USD prides themselves on being a change making campus and educating future change makers and because of PPM I feel one step closer to making change and facilitating impact. My goal is work internationally creating change creatively whether that’s through marketing or another outlet. Whenever I’m not working on change with PPM you can find me creating multimedia art, gardening or relaxing with my dogs in the sun!

Originally from Bakersfield, CA I made my way to San Diego with a degree in Human Resources. During the pandemic, I began learning photoshop, since then I’ve been designing off and on. A year later I knew I wanted this to be my new career and enrolled the San Diego City College in 2021. I enjoy creating fun motion designs and prototyping in Figma; basically I love making items move. I am excited to bring my skills to Puzzle Pieces Marketing and learn about the relationship between the design team and the marketing team!

In my free time you can catch me hanging out with my spouse with our two cats Matcha and Popcorn. My latest obsession is learning self defense. It is a practical skill and a great work out!

I’m originally from Orange County, but found my way to San Diego to study Business Marketing at Point Loma Nazarene University. I’m excited to intern with PPM because they align with my values of serving underrepresented communities and providing them with the necessary resources. I hope to learn skills in digital marketing and website design to help contribute support to the nonprofits PPM works with and convey strong messages. I love traveling to new places to learn about different cultures, traditions, and customs. My goal is to travel throughout South America to connect to my cultural roots that have helped shape my identity.

I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, but always dreamed of being a California girl. I made my way to San Diego 4 years ago, and will be graduating from San Diego State University this fall, with a degree in Business Marketing. I am thrilled to be interning with PPM because I am passionate about using marketing as a vehicle for positive change, and am eager to learn from our experienced team and contribute to meaningful work in a hands-on way. In my free time you can find me in the kitchen–I love to cook for others and bring people together through food. No surprise, when I was lucky enough to visit Morocco during my study abroad, it was my favorite location and I brought back so many spices my whole suitcase smelled like turmeric!
