Hello everyone, I’m Tress Marie Landa. I’m 26 years old, from San Antonio, Texas and a senior at the University of Houston. I’m a digital media major with an emphasis in e-commerce. I chose e-commerce because online sales and click and brick or b2b marketplaces are on the rise.
I’ve always had a love of media and being creative whether it be making graphics, content writing, photography, videography or web design. I found that the Digital Media program encompassed most of my interests and I changed my major from communications to digital media in 2016. From that point on I’ve been focused on honing in my web design skills and learning more techniques on building online storefronts.
For the last few years I have worked for a company called iD tech teaching coding, photography and videography at a technology camp for ages 10-15. I worked last summer in Boston at Simmons College and this summer in Houston at Rice University. It has taught me a lot about how to teach a skill and apply it to myself, customer service, interpersonal relationships and patience. Teaching is not necessarily my passion and so I look forward to finding a career more in my field before graduation.
