About Maggie Kocher

As a Senior majoring in Communication with a focus on Media Studies, I have developed strong skills in critical analysis, media literacy, and strategic communication. My academic work has focused on understanding how media shapes culture, identity, and public discourse.Outside of the classroom, I’m actively involved in Greek life, which has strengthened my leadership, collaboration, and community building skills. I have always worked in hospitality, where I’ve developed a strong foundation in customer service, adaptability, and maintaining professionalism in fast-paced environments. Following graduation, I plan to continue pursuing my long standing passion for aviation and hope to explore flight attendant positions that combine service, travel, while also continuing to advance my pilot licensure.
