With six months away from graduation, Luisa is an undergrad student at The University of Tampa majoring in Advertising & Public Relations. Born and raised in Brazil, she decided to take a leap of faith by attending college in the U.S where she would be able to learn and be mentored by professionals that have inspired her in the advertising industry. Her insatiable curiosity led her to her first internship in the Accounts department at Paradise Marketing and then decided to challenge herself and join the analytics department at McKay Advertising + Activation (MA+A) as her second internship. Soon she’ll be off to New York to explore her passion even further while interning at FullScreen Media during the summer.

In her senior year, Luisa was honored as the most outstanding Advertising & Public Relations student and was also elected by her peers to lead the Ad Club during the Fall semester along with faculty advisors.

With her authentic spirit, Luisa also makes sure to introduce part of her nationality to her colleagues at MA+A, where she teaches them Portuguese and bring some delicious Brazilian food to light it up their day.
