Leadership Role

I am a professional and technical writing student passionate about collaborating with my academic, professional, and philanthropic communities. I am dedicated to pursuing an entry-level position in strategic communications, public relations, or corporate communications. I am committed to assisting in creating and maintaining a company’s communication framework and external communication channels.

I design, write, review, and edit digital content and documents based on client interviews, research, and creative briefs. My main focus is finding the most effective approach for the target audience, and creating brands in alignment with core values, mission, vision, and market position. This method has resulted in increased engagement, improved clarity, and positive client feedback.

My educational plan is to graduate from New York City College of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Professional and Technical Writing, a Psychology concentration, and a Hispanic Studies minor. I am excited to see where my academic and professional experience takes me after graduation.

I designed Yokālloy to create a profound connection with many companies and clients along my academic, professional, and philanthropic journey. This has allowed me to participate in their academic and professional tipping points, expand my networking pool, and enhance my skills.

Introduction

In the fall of 2023, I began my exploration of the Student Life and development realm to find the right club for me. I needed to find a club suited to fulfill my academic needs. Therefore, I began creating a club for the Professional and Technical Writing Department. I collaborated with a group of seniors and their instructor, Professor Shauna Chung, who formulated a tailored curriculum to create the City Tech Professional and Technical Writing PTW Club. On December 19, 2023, we established the existence of the PTW Club, as well as my designation as the president and one of the founding members of the PTW Club. In the Fall 2024 semester, the Student Life and Development Center and the Student Government Association officially registered and advised us.

The PTW Club fosters academic, social, and professional growth for students interested and invested in professional and technical writing. By nurturing a welcoming and engaged community, the club upholds a high standard of professionalism through communication excellence at City Tech and beyond.
