Vanesa Hodzic.

My professional journey has been an exciting mix of industries and passions that have shaped the person I am today.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Missouri – St. Louis, where my fascination with politics and my desire to better understand how today's world works evolved.

During college, I realized that career opportunities for political science graduates were limited in St. Louis. Not wanting to leave my hometown, I explored other avenues, and landed a local law firm internship at a personal injury practice.

Along the way, I discovered a new passion for marketing. I developed a strong foundation in digital marketing and now specialize in everything from brand development and social media strategy to website design and overall digital presence.

I earned my Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Lindenwood University.

The intersection of these disciplines is where I see the future of how businesses connect with the people they serve.

Outside of work and school, I prioritize health and travel.

I'm a weightlifter and train three to four times a week. Travel is also a huge part of my life, I try to take trips every few months, whether it's a quick weekend getaway or a longer adventure. Colorado is a regular destination for family ski trips (and I never say no to après-ski). Milan and Miami are at the top of my list of favorites.

When I'm not lifting, traveling, or studying, I'm checking out new coffee shops, watching UFC fights, or diving into new biohacking trends.
