EDUCATION

ABOUT CATHERINE ESREY

In May 2025, I graduated from Duke University where I designed my own degree titled “The Psychology of Media”. My studies drew from two departments of great interest — Psychology and Visual Media Studies — and helped me understand how media can influence the way we think, feel, and act. Storytelling has always been at a passion of mine and led me to minor in Journalism. My passionate to create and innovate inspired me to earn a certificate from Duke’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship program. I intentionally chose courses that fueled my curiosity and creativity and ultimately helped me develop on a personal and professional level. Outside the classroom, I continued to follow my passions and gained hands-on experience while working at Santa Barbara Life & Style Magazine, GTA Abroad, and more. Each role taught me something new about myself and allowed me to continue to grow professionally and personally. Ultimately, I found myself interning at goop - a brand I had long admired. I interned on the Strategic Partnerships team and after graduating Duke, I joined the team in a full-time capacity. As I take the next step in my journey, I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and exploring new ways to tell meaningful stories and make an impact.
