ALESSANDRA WEZEMAN
Born in El Paso, Texas
Lives & works in New Braunfels, Texas
I am a public relations major and diversity studies minor, who graduated from Texas State University with Summa Cum Laude honors. Since July of 2021, I have been the social and digital media manager for On The Grind: A drive-thru coffee company based out of New Braunfels, Texas with 14 locations in the surrounding area. I am responsible for creating digital media advertisements, curating social media content, and utilizing our social media platforms to directly communicate with customers on a daily basis. I also conceptualize and design all promotional media, merchandise, print advertisements, and exterior building advertisements using industry-recognized Adobe software.
I have a passion for design, creativity, branding, cultivating relationships, and thrive in creative environments. There is nothing I enjoy more than working with people in order to uncover new perspectives, form new ideas, and create something truly magnificent. Like the wise Steve Jobs once said, "Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people."
