About Me
Hi, I’m Azucena.
I’ve never been someone who fits neatly in one box. My path has taken me through marketing teams, classrooms, and event floors.
What I discovered along the way is that I’m at my best when I’m helping people share their stories and connecting. Whether it’s students finding their voice or a community celebrating its wins, I love creating moments that feel authentic and meaningful through design and content creation.
Currently, I’m focused on transitioning into the world of sports, bringing my passion to showcase team accomplishments with their community. I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and building work that makes an impact.
Outside of Work:
You’ll often find me surfing, skateboarding, or going to a hockey game. I love to learn, so I’ve been teaching myself to sew and embroider. I also enjoy spending most of my time with my emotional support animal, Indigo.
