Erika Castro

A 2010 Portland State University Alumni Graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing & Advertising Management. I had the opportunity to work outside of the country for 9 months within the family business of Mining (Gold, Copper, Silver). With every new thing comes its challenges. However, without these challenges, you wouldn't be able to learn and grow not only as a professional, but also as an individual.I consider myself to be a very hardworking individual who is always willing to try and learn new things in order to broaden my mind to what the world has to offer. I believe that a person needs to have a goal (big or small) in their life in order to find a purpose every morning. I'm goal oriented and highly motivated. I tend to stay focused and keep working towards achieving my goals. Creativity is important to me. The more I can show what I have to offer and also view other people's perspectives, the more I'll be able to grow and enjoy what I do.Specialties: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Boohma, Photography, Art (Oil Pastels, Pencil, Paint Acrylics, Colored Pencils).
