Intro
I'm Nico Gutiérrez, a student at St. John's University based in New York City. I work at the intersection of operations, storytelling, and creative execution. I support early stage teams, nonprofits, and public service orgs as they turn ideas into real, working things.
My background spans media, strategy, and coordination, with experience helping teams move faster, communicate better, and build trust with the people they serve.
