Ava Rose Agency | Marketing Coordinator:
Jethro Punzalan is one of the Marketing Coordinators at Ava Rose Agency. He interned with the team during his last semester of undergrad at UNLV and loved working with them so much, he decided to stay. Jethro recently graduated from UNLV after studying Journalism and Media Studies with a Public Relations emphasis.
He is relatively new to Las Vegas, having lived here for only three years but loving it so far. He finds new things to love about the city every day. Before currently settling in Las Vegas, Jethro moved around often, living in places such as California, Maryland, the Philippines, and Okinawa, Japan.
When Jethro isn’t working, he loves to travel to new places, go to music festivals with his friends, and discover new food places. He is a huge fan of EDM and he has a particular sweet tooth for boba, both of which are passions he shares with his followers on social media. You can follow him on his adventures on @its_jethro_not_deathrow.
Every day, Jethro aims to learn something new about Public Relations and Social Media Marketing while working with Ava Rose Agency. He is currently gaining experience writing press releases and media alerts, managing social media accounts, and creating graphic design artwork on behalf of Ava Rose Agency. He brings to the team a willingness to learn, a strong writing background, and a consumer-focused approach to PR.

Katherine (Kat) Mendoza is one of our newest Social Media Marketing Coordinators. She started working with Ava Rose Agency as an intern during her last semester at UNLV where she majored in Journalism and Media Studies with a concentration in Integrated Marketing Communications.
Throughout her week, Kat spends her time at dance practice, having been a Polynesian dancer for the past eight years. Or at Dutch Bros Coffee where she has been working for the past four years, and where she’ll happily make you a cup of coffee with amazing customer service.
With being a recent UNLV graduate this past Spring, Katherine is excited to start her journey with Ava Rose where she can apply what she learned in school but still learn and grow with Ava Rose. She currently handles social media posts for a local restaurant and creates social media calendars for other clients.
