Journalism, Digital Media & Social Storytelling

I’ve recently graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.A. in journalism and communications, with a focus on digital storytelling, audience strategy, and multimedia production.

I’ve always been drawn to stories that connect people whether through written features, social video, or brand-driven digital campaigns. My career goal is to work at the intersection of journalism, digital media, and social strategy, creating content that informs, engages, and builds community.

Throughout my time at UConn, I’ve developed skills in multimedia reporting, analytics, brand storytelling, and content strategy. I combine a journalistic foundation including research, interviewing, ethical storytelling with hands-on experience in digital marketing and social media growth.

One experience that shaped my professional direction was leading a student marketing team at High Point University. I helped manage over 14,000 prospective student applications and interest forms while overseeing content creation and campaign strategy. During this role, I analyzed engagement data to adjust messaging across platforms and collaborated with a team of creatives to produce video and photography assets. That experience strengthened my ability to think both creatively and strategically, balancing storytelling with measurable results.

Beyond academics, I’ve built a personal brand of over 700,000 followers across social platforms, where I produce lifestyle and college-focused content. This experience has sharpened my understanding of audience behavior, trend forecasting, and platform analytics. It has also allowed me to work directly with brands, negotiate contracts, and maintain long-term professional relationships.

I’m especially interested in roles that blend media, culture, and digital innovation, whether in editorial spaces, brand media teams, or creative strategy environments.
