Marian U., Communications Assistant

I am a multimedia creative with a background in advocacy, government relations, community organizing, and engagement. I am experienced in content creation, social media marketing, and brand development. In addition to working with Buoy, I also work with public officials and nonprofit organizations to effect positive change and uplift the voices of the youth.

I am a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago majoring in political science. Throughout college, I have had the opportunities to become an honors college ambassador, University of Illinois system advocate, and student leader through our undergraduate student government.

I have a passion for merging advocacy and social media through brand curation, strategy, and implementation. Through my work, I illuminate those often overlooked in society while holding those in power accountable for representing their constituents.  When I’m not creating content and working to serve my community, I’m usually shopping, cooking, scrolling through Instagram, and being a new dog mom.
