My journey in advertising began in an intro to digital media course, where my professor noticed my doodling and encouraged me to pursue art. Being steered toward advertising, I enrolled in the Ad/PR program. Over the years, I honed my writing and critical thinking skills through feedback and challenges of industry experts.
I had the honor of being the art director for the Harlem 2032 initiative, a campaign that continues to this day. Currently, my work with Hope for Sudan is as copywriter, art director, and graphic designer for fundraising campaigns to aid the civilians in my homeland. My goal is to become a creative director, leading successful campaigns and helping others thrive. I also plan to return to my City College roots to pursue a Master’s in Branding and Integrated Communications.
