About Mikaela Celicious

I’m a recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Corporate Communication and a minor in Science Communication. I’m passionate about people, storytelling, and creating memorable, well-executed experiences through thoughtful communication and strategic events.I most recently completed my final semester in New York City through the UTNY program, gaining hands-on experience in the events department at Hill Country. There, I supported private events, catering programs, and off-site activations for high-end clientele across the city- strengthening my skills in client experience, logistics, and creative problem-solving.Previously, I served as Cloudflare’s first Strategic Events Intern, supporting Tier 1 trade shows, contributing to the company’s first global user conference, leading international venue sourcing, and joining the team on-site at Black Hat 2025 in Las Vegas. This role gave me end-to-end exposure to event strategy, pre-event planning, and on-site execution while collaborating with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.My background also includes experience in technical support at Apple, hospitality at the AT & T Hotel and Conference Center, and customer service at the Austin Public Library Gift Shop- each role reinforcing my adaptability, professionalism, and ability to thrive in fast-paced, people-centered environments.I’m now actively seeking full-time opportunities in corporate events, event marketing, communications, or related roles, where I can bring energy, organization, and a strong people-first mindset to impactful teams. Let’s connect!
