Hey guys, im Nicolas Ospina, but everyone calls me Nico.

I’m was born in Colombia which is why people call me Nico (it’s the nickname for Nicolas in Colombia). I moved to South Florida when I was a three with my family and we have lived here almost all my life. I’m a sophomore advertising major interested in working with brands and non-profits to improve their advertising campaigns. I grew up fascinated with the campaigns of companies like Apple, Ray-Bans, and Nike and how simple they were into introducing you to a way of life and convincing you that their products brought you closer to that lifestyle. Throughout high school I was involved in DECA, which is a marketing club, and created advertising campaigns for movie theatres, social campaigns, and my own entrepreneurial products. My senior year I finally cemented my thoughts on if I wanted to do this as my career and applied as an advertising major at UF and got in. Last Fall I worked with an Adoption agency to work on all their social media marketing and print and merchandizing campaigns. Working all that semester really made me fall in love with advertising and the power it has on people; I also loved how I was using my talents on something I was passionate about and hopefully made a change in someone’s life by considering adoption as a solution of love instead of a backup plan.
