My name is Alan.

I am a communications professional specializing in strategic communications, digital marketing, and content creation.

Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for storytelling. As a communications specialist for the University of Oregon’s Hispanic Public Relations Student Association, I led initiatives that significantly increased social media engagement and revitalized events, leveraging research-driven strategies to connect with diverse audiences. 

I’ve also collaborated on impactful projects, such as creating outreach campaigns for the City of Salem and drafting engaging content prior to the launch of IPR NEXT for the Institute for Public Relations. Crafting compelling stories that connect with and inspire people has always been a central focus of my work.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new cities through food and sports tourism, sparking creativity and fresh ideas for storytelling. When I’m not traveling, I’m deeply involved in sports. I grew up a multisport athlete, so teamwork is something I value dearly. Whether it's playing indoor soccer or city league basketball, I value the camaraderie and collaboration needed to achieve shared goals.
