I bring a strong foundation in public relations, communications, digital media, and campaign strategy—paired with hands-on experience in both corporate and startup settings. Currently, I serve as a Communications Intern at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, where I create and manage digital and internal content, execute multichannel campaigns, and analyze performance data to drive measurable engagement. This role has honed my ability to balance strategy with execution, ensuring every project supports brand reputation and connects meaningfully with target audiences. My earlier marketing internship with Couple Two Tree Sauces strengthened my skills in social media, influencer outreach, and grassroots brand growth, while my leadership experience as a Shift Supervisor at Eli Tea Bar sharpened my ability to communicate effectively, train employees, and provide excellent service in a fast-paced environment.Beyond academic and professional experiences, I am also the publisher of a magazine, where I oversee content creation, editing, and digital strategy. This role reflects my entrepreneurial spirit and ability to manage projects from concept to publication—skills I am eager to apply in a professional public relations environment.
