About Marcus Aloisi

A first-generation college student who turned their COVID-19 experiences into their senior research thesis and left undergrad with a plethora of professional experiences, life-long memories, and excitement paired with determination about what will come next. I am keenly interested in the intersection of health, community, and communications. I\'m passionate about building and maintaining productive relationships with the community and supporting organizational missions, visions, and values. I have the unteachable skills necessary to help any company\'s operations. Over four years at the University of Vermont, I\'ve developed exceptional communication and interpersonal skills from various industries and roles, including being a UVM Foundation Intern, a Communications and Gameday Intern, and a Victory Club Associate for the UVM Athletic Department in the past. I have assisted in creating and publishing content for websites and social media platforms, conducting research and interviews, and organizing and updating student-athlete profiles and stats. I have a Bachelor\'s Degree of Science in Public Communications, a concentration in Strategic Communications and Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching, and a minor in Sports Management. I’ve recently found a passion for social advocacy, specifically in politics. There is a significant benefit to having young adults advocate in a political atmosphere. This not only helps hone my communication skills but also helps create a better future for our world. One of my most proud accomplishments was completing Distinguished Undergraduate Research in the CDAE Department at UVM for my senior thesis project. My research compares the experiences and outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic on College Students through an Integrative Health and Wellness Lens.
