About Me
My name is Whitney Wheeler and I'm a graduate of UC Santa Barbara with a BA in Communication and an emphasis in Marketing. Currently based in Oahu, I work as a part-time Brand Builder for JuneShine and a full-time deckhand and dive guide!
​
My work experience has always been driven by the desire to seek career opportunities that not only leverage my career goals, but also are congruent with my personal passions and lifestyles that I believe in. My love of travel and adventure paired with my professional skills of creating engaging marketing campaigns and driving brand success has provided me with the opportunity to work with and learn from companies all over the world! I am dedicated to continuous learning and growth, always seeking new challenges and opportunities to enhance my expertise and find my next adventure.
​
In addition to marketing and diving, photography and videography are long time passions of mine! I've always had a love for documenting my own adventures as well as the special moments of others. I'm available to capture portraits, events and more! Please reach out on my contact page for pricing and more information.
