NICE TO MEET YOU!
I'm Lina Grace.
I’m a Digital Ad & Marketing Coordinator based in Austin, Texas. Originally from the small town of Marion, Texas, I completed my early education there before graduating high school in 2023. I then pursued my passion for advertising at Texas State University, where I earned my degree in just two years, graduating in August 2025, just days before my 20th birthday. Completing a four-year degree in half the time reflects my drive, dedication, and love for the field. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about all things advertising.
Outside of advertising, design, and learning, I enjoy traveling, staying active through unique activities, and exploring fashion. I’m also a proud cat mom to my rescue kitten, Harper Lou, whom I found as a two-week-old during my sophomore year of high school. Above all, I deeply value my family and friends, and spending quality time with them is my favorite pastime.
My Career After College
After graduating, I stepped into a hands-on marketing and advertising role for the State Farm agency I had been working for through college as a sales rep. This was a leap of faith for my employer and me; nobody has been in this position before so there was a lot of trial and error and just plain and simple "figuring it out". I've worked across strategy, content curation, and community campaigns. This experience shaped how I think about brands, not just as messages, but as experiences people actually interact with.
I approach every project with curiosity and intention, grounding ideas in insight and strategy while bringing them to life through creative execution. I value collaboration, clarity, and work that feels both smart and professional but still human and relatable.
Looking Forward
I'm focused on continuing to grow my skill set while contributing my creative and strategic strengths in a role where I can make a meaningful impact. I'm seeking an opportunity that allows me to take on increasing responsibility, expand my scope, and grow alongside a collaborative team.
I'm especially drawn to environments that support learning, creativity, and clear communication where ideas are thoughtfully developed and individual strengths are valued.
Ultimately, my goal is to build a career in a setting that aligns with my personality, encourages growth, and allows me to continue refining my skills while contributing to purposeful, well-crafted work.
Social Media Sneak Peak
Social media allows me to experiment with storytelling, visuals, and tone while staying connected to culture and audience behavior. These examples offer a small glimpse into how I approach my personal content with intention and creativity. I love that our generation has accessible platforms to express ourselves and easily share our good times and successes with a vast audience.
Giving back is important to me, and participating in the Angel Tree each year is one way I stay connected to the community and purpose beyond my professional work.
A reminder that growth doesn't happen alone. I am beyond grateful for the people who have supported and believed in me throughout every step of the journey
As a first-generation college graduate, this moment represents a lifelong dream realized and the beginning of the journey, and everything that is still yet to come
