About:

Marisa, a Jacksonville native and local artist, is the Digital Media Manager for Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP) and Riverside Arts Market (RAM). As a marketing and communications professional and champion for small businesses, Marisa has worked in a variety of industries that have allowed her to grow in many aspects and bring more knowledge and depth to each role she has taken on. Her passion and knowledge for all things social media arose when she realized the positive and meaningful impact a good social media strategy can have on small businesses. Marisa can be found every Saturday Under the Bridge, capturing the Market and uplifting the 300+ businesses we support. 

When she's not working, you can find Marisa daydreaming of new art ideas, working on her art commissions at home, and spending time with her dogs and family.

About RAM:

"As someone who has always loved and admired the Riverside Avondale neighborhood, I am ecstatic and grateful to be a part of such a wonderful organization that works to preserve its historical features as well as promote the businesses, arts, and culture that resides within the community. As a local artist, it has also been an amazing experience to dive deeper and be more integrated into the operational side of Riverside Arts Market. I love getting to know all the vendors and helping them grow to reach their goals."
