Hi, my name is
Ella Brekke
Third Year Marketing Major, Minoring in Hospitality and Event Management
About Me –
As a Green and Gold Scholar specializing in Marketing and Hospitality & Event Management, I am a dedicated and driven student eager to build a future in marketing and hospitality. Growing up abroad in Taiwan, Singapore, and now Saudi Arabia has given me a global perspective, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to diverse environments and collaborate effectively across all cultures. This experience has shaped my ability to think creatively, communicate effectively, and connect with different audiences—all essential skills in the marketing and hospitality world.
Beyond the classroom, I apply my marketing & planning knowledge at Muse Clothing Boutique, where I create engaging social media content to showcase new arrivals and enhance the brand’s online presence. I love combining visual storytelling with data-driven insights to capture audience attention and drive engagement. Passionate about branding, digital marketing, and event coordination, I am always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact.

Ella’s Hospitality & Marketing Skills
I built the Brewed by Brekke website entirely from scratch as a passion project to bring my dream of starting a coffee business to life while elevating my personal brand. This project let me mix creativity and aesthetics. I aimed to create a responsive layout, clean navigation, and clear storytelling, making the site seamless on mobiles, tablets, and desktops.
Beyond the visuals, I structured the site to feel like a real business launch: showcasing signature drinks, brand personality, customer experience elements, and the heart behind the brand. This project highlights my skills in web design, digital branding, visual identity development, and content creation, while demonstrating my ability to build a cohesive brand from the ground up.
