Overview

Frontera is a student entrepreneurship organization at Purdue. My work sat between marketing, operations, and community building: helping the team communicate more clearly, organize internal work, and turn early interest into a more active online community.

Work

  • Supported marketing initiatives across Frontera channels and community touchpoints
  • Improved team engagement through clearer operating processes and coordination
  • Built and scaled an online community server from 0 to 200 members in three months
  • Helped translate the organization’s identity into practical outreach and member-facing systems

Relevance

This work shows the same pattern as the studio projects in a campus context: build the operating layer, clarify the message, and help a young community become easier to join and easier to run.
