MANUELA SALINAS

I`m a senior majoring in broadcast journalism and minoring in Entrepreneurship at The University of Central Florida, I'll be graduating in Summer 2025.  I began my journey as a journalism student in the fall of 2021, moving from Colombia to challenge myself and pursue my dreams in a different country. The experience of migrating taught me to be brave and believe in myself. I’ve always been passionate about people's life stories, often striking up conversations with strangers in everyday situations. This curiosity and passion for telling others' stories is what inspired me to study journalism. In addition to journalism, I’ve developed a strong passion for brand design and brand communication. I love exploring how visual elements and messaging can shape a brand's identity and connect with audiences in meaningful ways. This interest complements my journalism journey, as I believe that storytelling and branding are deeply intertwined in creating impactful narratives.
