About Patty Jo Nickoloff

I am a Brand Coordinator at CASTUS. My responsibilities vary from creating social media content to researching new avenues for communication. I support the Director of Brand & Marketing to generate engaging material that represents our brand and mission. I work with clients designing brand materials, planning events, developing their marketing strategies, and reviewing the results of their social and email campaigns. While at CASTUS, I have had the pleasure of planning and running the CASTUS Fellowship for Minority Business Owners. This program is an opportunity for minority business owners in the Pittsburgh Area to network, build relationships, and gain monetary resources. I am a graduate of Grove City College with degrees in Communication Studies and Entrepreneurship. At the college, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Communication and Entrepreneurship departments and an Event Assistant. I participated on campus in many ways including: Athletic Director, Social Chair, and President for The Alpha Beta Tau Sorority, an Executive Chair for Grove City College’s Orientation Board, radio show host for 91.1 The One, running the Priest, Prophet, & Queen podcast, and The Praxis Academy. In the summer of 2019, I interned for a month in Italy working for the Archaeological Conservation Institute. There I gained experience in intercultural communication and museum studies. I worked on ancient excavation sites, as well as precision lab work and register organization. That summer I learned the importance of appreciation for and the preservation of Cultural Heritage. I love creating Cultural Heritage myself by writing. I am a published author in \"The Pittsburgh Catholic\" as well as several other publications. I enjoy verbal communication, whether it be creative or professional. My mission is to use Ideation and Innovation to leave every place I go better than I have found it.
