About Me •

Hello and welcome to my digital portfolio!

I’m Shannea Minell Santiago, a soon-to-be graduate from Pacific Union College (June 2025) with a B.S. in Strategic Communication and a Certificate in Conflict Resolution.

I am passionate about Public Relations, Crisis Communication, Advertising, and Marketing—fields that allow me to craft meaningful messages, build strong connections, and bring creative ideas to life. Through my studies in social media marketing, advertising, graphic design, project management, and organizational communication, I have developed a strong foundation in strategic storytelling and brand communication.

I’m especially interested in the technology, beauty, publishing, entertainment, and health industries, where I can apply my skills to help brands connect with their audiences in impactful ways.

Outside of my professional interests, I love traveling, vlogging, content creation, singing, gaming, and spending time with my family and and friends. I believe that storytelling—whether through marketing, media, or personal creativity—has the power to inspire and connect people in meaningful ways.

I’m always eager to learn, collaborate, and create something meaningful. Let’s connect!
