Hello there!
I'm Franchesca Murrugarra, an undergraduate studying advertising, public relations, and sociology at the University of Tampa. I am the feature editor of the student newspaper and a member of my university’s leadership program, which helps me hone my communication, initiative, and adaptability skills. As a result, I have experience with various writing disciplines and conceptualizing social change projects.
I am dedicated to creating social change through my words and actions (hence my interesting combination of studies), but I'm equally passionate about art and creativity. I've been creating digital art since middle school through programs like Ibis Paint X and Procreate, and I’ve always been interested in bringing my imaginative ideas to life through art.
