wHERE IT ALL STARTED
My affinity for branding, marketing, and advertising blossomed at a tender age, sparked by an unlikely muse - the iconic Popsicle brand.
Amidst an array of delectable sweet treats at my disposal, my gaze unfailingly gravitated towards these frozen delights. What was the enchantment that rendered Popsicles irresistibly captivating? Was it their vibrant hues, tantalizing flavors, or their ability to provide a surge of refreshing coolness on sweltering summer days? While these factors undoubtedly played a role in my infatuation, it was the unassuming wooden sticks that held the key to my fascination.
Upon finishing these popsicles, I would eagerly inspect the sticks, which welcomed a surprise: a collection of witty (or perhaps corny) jokes on the left and their answers on the right. Little did I realize that these simple puns etched onto wooden sticks would provide an experience I craved more of. The notion that my dessert could also entertain me with humor fascinated me immensely.
My passion for Popsicles served as my initial look into the realm of advertising and its intricate processes. I marveled at how this product could entice me solely through the strategic influence of branding and marketing. It possessed the power to channel thoughts into my mind, compelling me to think, "I must have more." The ingenious art of standing out from the crowd, as exemplified by Popsicle's ability to distinguish itself amidst a sea of other refreshing treats, captivated my imagination.
​
This fascination ultimately propelled me toward the pursuit of something where my creativity could flourish. I was led to Indiana University where I embarked on a journey to study marketing and a specialization in creative media advertising. Throughout my academic tenure and subsequent professional experiences, I've been steadfast in carrying this passion with me.
