zoe cruz
ACCOUNT COORDINATOR | PR AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Zoe Cruz is an emerging marketing professional who brings a unique blend of journalism, public relations and digital storytelling to her work at RAD Strategies. After four years in the U.S. Navy, she earned a dual bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Bilingual Media Studies (Spanish), with an emphasis in Public Relations, from the University of Nevada, Reno.
Her experience includes competing in a national public relations campaign competition while studying abroad in Spain, reporting internationally and producing bilingual multimedia stories for Noticiero Móvil and The Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science. With a background spanning both journalism and public relations, Zoe approaches marketing with a journalist’s curiosity, a storyteller’s perspective and a passion for creating meaningful connections.
As a CHamoru woman from Guam, Zoe is passionate about elevating underrepresented voices and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Her multicultural perspective shapes the way she approaches storytelling and communication, with an emphasis on authenticity, representation and community.
When she isn’t managing social media accounts, writing engaging content or designing digital visuals, Zoe is usually planning her next adventure. Moving to Reno introduced her to a love of the outdoors, and she enjoys spending time skiing, snowboarding, climbing and trail running. She is currently training for an ultramarathon and is always looking for new ways to challenge herself both personally and professionally.
This keeps the core of who Zoe is while landing in a sweet spot for a website bio: professional, personal, and about 25-30% shorter than the original.
