Driving Impact Through Event Planning, Content, and Marketing
Hi I’m Mariel! I’m a marketing professional with experience in event planning, content creation, and social media strategy. From supporting large-scale events to managing digital content and engagement, I’m passionate about creating experiences and communications that connect with people.
Get to Know Me
Originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey, I have found my new home in New England through my studies at Providence College. While graduating from PC in 2025 for my undergrad, I returned to PC the following year to pursue an MBA with a concentration in digital marketing.
I’m passionate about content creation, lifestyle trends, and finding new ways to connect with people through digital experiences. I’ve always been drawn to social media, storytelling, and the creative side of marketing—especially when it comes to creating content that feels authentic and engaging.
I love staying on top of trends, exploring new ideas, and turning inspiration into something meaningful. Whether it’s planning events, creating content, or working on a new project, I enjoy bringing ideas to life in a way that connects with others.
My Background
Education
I am currently pursuing my MBA in Digital Marketing at Providence College, where I am strengthening my skills in data-driven strategy and digital marketing. I previously earned my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Providence College, building a strong foundation in consumer insights and brand development.
American Dream
At American Dream, I gained hands-on experience in both marketing and event planning within a large-scale retail and entertainment environment. I supported the execution of major events, including fashion shows, concerts, and specialty conventions, while also contributing to marketing initiatives through market research, competitive analysis, and content creation. This experience strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced settings, collaborate across teams, and develop strategies that enhance brand visibility and audience engagement.
Providence College Extracurriculars
Through my involvement at Providence College, I have gained hands-on experience in marketing, communications, and event operations. As a Graduate Assistant in Student Engagement and Leadership, I manage social media and communications initiatives, including overseeing a platform with over 11K followers and developing data-driven strategies to increase engagement. In addition, through my role as a Game Day Assistant in Athletic Marketing, I have supported promotional initiatives, sponsorship activations, and fan engagement efforts for Division I athletic events. These experiences have enhanced my ability to develop strategic content, analyze performance metrics, and contribute to marketing initiatives.
