👋 Hey there!

Alena+Profile+Picture+800p+wide.jpg

I first realized my future potential in social media when I began pursuing photography. Social media was, and still is, hungry for high quality, sharable content while nurturing community globally or locally. Since I was a photographer keen to make quality content as well as being an American studying abroad, both of these aspects made me so passionate about the power of social and digital communities. I went on to bolster my creative advantage with a masters focused in marketing to position myself as 360º marketer. No one should have to sacrifice creativity for analytics (and vice-versa!)

When it comes to the work I do (and love), I am proud to be able to cross paths between being a creator and strategist, it is a happy-middle for me. My projects includes anything from image, video and graphic design to campaigns, strategies, influencer programs, blog management and copywriting. I’m happy as a clam on my own, though equally excited to collaborate with other creatives and teams to bring forth authentic social that helps to share your brand’s story and mission.

✍️ The Details

Although I come from the windy city, Chicago, I graduated from high school in 2014 from a boarding school called Culver Academies in Culver, Indiana where I honored in Photography. I then received my BA in Photography and Digital Media and MA in Business Management & Marketing from Bath Spa University (in Bath, England). You're probably wondering why a young American decided to move to a different country in the first place. Click here for a better understanding on why I decided to cross the pond for University! Also, check out the video below to see how I was getting on in first year.

From the Bath Spa University Youtube Channel: Alena is a first year student studying BA (Hons) Photography and Digital Media (now known as BA (Hons) Photography). Alena hails from the windy city of Chicago, loves photography and has a soft spot for tea!
