About

Hi, I’m Brenna Locke! I’m a senior at Colorado State University, completing my degree in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. I love all things creative—whether it’s coming up with a clever social media campaign, designing something unique in Photoshop, or brainstorming ways to make a brand really connect with people.

When I’m not juggling projects or studying, you can usually find me listening to music, recharging with a good coffee, or exploring local spots around Fort Collins. I’m passionate about learning, creating, and finding new ways to tell stories that matter. Let’s connect!
