ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE — SOCIAL MEDIA + INFLUENCER

I’m Alexa – a Purdue graduate with a deep passion for content creation, social media, and influencer marketing. With a background in corporate-level marketing and hands-on influencer experience, I thrive in fast-paced environments where creativity and strategy intersect. I love the challenge of building engaging digital campaigns that connect brands with their audiences in authentic, meaningful ways. Outside of the digital world, you’ll find me testing new recipes in my kitchen, exploring the latest workout studios, or hunting for hidden gems around the city with friends and family. I’m a firm believer in the power of storytelling and the impact of human connection, both online and offline. Whether it's crafting a data-driven strategy, creating eye-catching content, or simply capturing moments of everyday life, I’m always looking for new ways to inspire and engage.
