What attracts me to advertising is my love for creating things. Ever since I was little I have been drawing, taking photos, creating recipes, and ads. I grew up in a family of grocers. My parent’s office doubled as a playroom where I was surrounded by talk of sales and marketing. I made my first ad when I was four. It was a sign made of markers and construction paper intended to show our customers why they needed the new cereal. I’m currently in Chicago working at DraftFCB.
