My name is Cristina Lee, and I am a Mississippi-based aspiring marketer + designer passionate about storytelling and all things social media. I am always eager to collaborate, learn, and problem-solve to bring complex ideas to life.

During my internships with Sanderson Farms and Aramark Eagle Dining, I honed my skills in content creation and social media management. My efforts led to notable achievements, including elevating Eagle Dining's social media to the #1 spot for top Aramark videos of the week. Additionally, I developed a content strategy for the Sanderson Farms Championship event that reached over 43,650 accounts—91.4% of which were non-followers.

hello there!

Now that we have broken the ice, here are some fun facts about me: 😄

  • I can’t go a day without randomly quoting lines from Spongebob.
