 My name is Cristy. I first joined EDS on 2021 as Instagram engager. I’m currently pursuing my second degree in Canada. I’m studying business administration with a concentration in marketing, which I’m incredibly passionate about. When I’m not hitting the books, you can find me immersing myself in social media – I actually make a living out of it! I’m always staying up-to-date with the latest trends and algorithms, and I love using my knowledge to help businesses thrive online. Aside from work and school, you’ll likely find me soaking up the sun at the beach. It’s one of my favorite places to relax and recharge, and the sound of the waves always puts me in a good mood. I’m a huge fan of the color pink – it just makes everything a little bit brighter! But most importantly, I’m a friendly and approachable person. I love meeting new people and making connections, so please don’t hesitate to say hello!
