Hi there! I'm Valeria, a Colombian-American sophomore currently studying Digital Media at the
University of Central Florida with a minor in Marketing. I first got interested in web design
when I realized I can combine my creativity with learning new coding skills. I have knowledge
in HTML and CSS, and I'm exploring new tools and frameworks to improve my skills. In my free time,
I enjoy gaming, playing pickleball, or crafting. I’m always seeking new ways to express my
creativity and I'm excited to continue learning, growing, and applying my skills in web design,
as well as leveraging my marketing knowledge to create more impactful digital experiences.
Experience
UCF Arboretum LxL Internship
Website and Microsoft Teams Intern | Spring 2025 – Present
The UCF Aboretum provides opportunities for students, staff,
and visitors to explore and learn about plant life and the
surrounding environment. In this role, I have focused on
maintaining the UCF Arboretum Website with Wordpress.
Utilizing HTML and CSS, I have
implemented new features such as interactive buttons and
collapsible content. I am currently in the process of creating new
pages to include additional content requested by the Arboretum. My
team has also been using Microsoft Powerapps to
develop various apps needed by the Arboretum, allowing the staff to
access new features easily.
Pegasus Promotions is a marketing agency that works with local small businesses
to help increase their social media presence. In my role, I led the rebranding
of the agency, overseeing the creation of new visual assets and strategies to
enhance our brand image. I have also designed graphics using Canva
for the agency’s Instagram. My team collaborates with other members of Pegasus
Promotions to gather content to share on our social media. Additionally, I will
be contributing to the development of the Pegasus Promotions website.
