My Resume and Experience

Written By Tarika Kostura

Hi there, I’m Tarika!

I have a passion for digital storytelling, creating engaging and impactful communication content and fostering positive relationships.

Whether it's writing copy for a social media post, designing an engaging graphic, developing a strategic plan, or executing an advertising campaign, I love the challenge of bringing ideas to life and connecting with people wherever I go.

Outside of work, I like hiking, skiing, soccer and music. I even recently created a camper build-out in my SUV so I can go camping more often!
