Kelly Ryan's suggestion is perfect.
Let me add to the first suggestion she made.
If you haven't started to support your passion in your own portfolio and body of work, do so now. Are you part of any community organizations? If so, begin showing your support on your social media platforms with your own brand marketing strategy for your community group.
Don't wait to be active in your field and build your skills, marketing companies, agencies, employers will be able to truly see your passion in your work if you're active now. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, are all excellent ready made portfolios and visual media can lend a lot of support to your personal message and resume.
And as Kelly stated, find employers that are aligned with your passions and values.
