Meet Tatiana Strickland: Aleaure’s Passionate Intern Bringing Creativity and Culture to Life
Aleaure is proud to highlight one of the bright young minds behind its summer content—Tatiana Strickland, a driven and creative Communications major from Cal State Fullerton. Going into her third year of college, Tatiana brings a thoughtful mix of public relations savvy, cultural pride, and a deep love for storytelling to the Aleaure team.
Born and raised in Livermore, California, Tatiana found a meaningful connection in interning with a brand rooted in her own hometown. But her reasons for joining Aleaure went even deeper: “As a Portuguese-American, it was also significant to connect with a brand that celebrates Portuguese culture,” she shared. That cultural alignment, along with her passion for public relations, made Aleaure a natural fit.
At Cal State Fullerton, Tatiana is majoring in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations and minoring in Child and Adolescent Studies. She also currently serves as the Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing for her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. “It’s been such a rewarding experience and a great way to combine my love for creativity, communication, and community,” she said—three values that resonate deeply with Aleaure’s own mission.
During her internship, Tatiana has been focused on crafting social media content that was not only visually compelling but also told a story. “What I enjoy most about creating social media content is the opportunity to tell a story and share a message creatively and engagingly,” she said. Whether experimenting with trends or developing strategy, she brings a fresh perspective and a thoughtful eye to Aleaure’s digital presence.
Working alongside founder Angela Simoes, Tatiana says, has been especially inspiring. “She brings so much passion and heart into everything she does, and that energy truly shows through in the business,” she reflected. “Being part of something so meaningful and culture-driven has made the experience incredibly special.”
Looking ahead, Tatiana hopes to pursue a career in social media or public relations. Her time with Aleaure has helped her grow in confidence and solidified her vision for the future. “I enjoy the blend of creativity, strategy, and communication that both fields offer.”
To Tatiana, Aleaure isn’t just a brand—it’s something much more personal. “It’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and community,” she said. “Every product feels personal and thoughtfully made, and there’s a real sense of pride behind it.”
We’re loving having Tatiana on the team this summer, look forward to continue working with her and can’t wait to see where her talent and passion take her next!
