Cadence Bakker
Social Media Specialist, freelance photographer, and MBA student
With history in customer relations and marketing for over 8 years (including traditional media, social media and digital), I bring a unique background built from my experiences in my collegiate entrepreneurial startups, my passion project as an indie musical artist, my time as a freelance photographer, and at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU).
Ranging from content creation, content management, copywriting, analytics, and maintaining consistent brand image, I'd love to see what we can create together!

Pre-graduation
While working full-time, I am currently pursuing my Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Digital Media Strategy at FGCU.
After graduating from FGCU, I received an offer for the first full-time Social Media Specialist position as a part of University Marketing & Communications. In this role, I curate, schedule, and manage over 50 pieces of content to five channels every week, while enforcing FGCU's Social Media Policy #5.001 for over 350 registered campus accounts.
During my undergrad, I managed social media accounts and did event photography for a local cafe & music venue in my hometown, a club at FGCU, and FGCU Career Development Services. I also worked for a marketing agency part-time, where I gained experience with both social media and traditional media.
