ABOUT MARIA GARCIA

I’ve always been curious about how stories connect across borders. Early in my career, I had the chance to support PR initiatives for Nike, Philips, and Canola Oil of Canada during the Rio Olympics: an experience that showed me the power of communication to bridge cultures and spark impact on a global stage.Since then, my career path has taken me through marketing and communications roles across the U.S. and U.K, where I’ve grown event attendance by 25%, launched campaigns with 66.9% open rates, and expanded outreach into Spanish-speaking communities by building bilingual channels from the ground up. Along the way, I also completed a Master’s degree in Gender, Media & Culture at Goldsmiths, University of London, which deepened my understanding of how narratives influence perception and shape audience engagement.Today, I’m focused on building a career in public relations where I can combine storytelling, media relations, and digital strategy to help brands maximize their reputation and expand their reach. With experience across B2B communications, international media landscapes, and multicultural engagement, I bring both the perspective and the results companies need to stand out in competitive markets.Outside of work, I’m passionate about learning and pushing boundaries, whether that’s teaching myself Korean, aligning with new cultures, or testing my limits through extreme sports. I\'m at my best when stretching beyond my comfort zone and bringing that same energy to the teams and projects I’m part of.If you’re looking to partner with a results-driven communication professional who\'s globally minded and sees learning as a lifelong advantage, let\'s start a conversation!
