Throughout 2025, I was the Public Relations Intern at AMPERAGE Marketing and Fundraising. In this role, I worked remotely under the PR director. I wrote and pitched articles to local media, conducted research, prepared content schedules and compiled media lists – primarily for manufacturing and nonprofit clients. In this role, I helped secure over 6 million impressions and widespread B2B media placements for a global manufacturing corporation. One major project I was able to participate in was the company-wide rebranding initiative that was rolled out in March. For this, my primary role was the development of social media strategy, along with PR guidelines and training for staff.
I am currently a Marketing and Communications Intern with the Iowa City Free Medical and Dental Clinic, where I assist in creating the quarterly newsletter along with multimedia and social media content. I also serve as a student ambassador for Iowa's East Coast Hockey League team, the Heartlanders, where I work to build engagement between the team and students at the University of Iowa.
Previously, I worked for The Daily Iowan in the role of Visual Editor. Across these positions, I have grown in my ability to lead others, speak in front of large groups, be assertive and complete work within deadlines. I have also learned technical skills in writing, photo and video editing and how to produce content targeted toward specific audiences.
I was one of six students selected to work on a documentary photography book chronicling the impact of the Iowa Women's Basketball team and Caitlin Clark. As a team, we captured hundreds of thousands of photographs, with about 320 images published in the book. My biggest contribution to the project was in capturing the team's impact on youth basketball players across Iowa. To do so, I traveled hundreds of miles and spent countless hours with elementary and high school players, and the connections I made with them will stick with me as I look towards the future.
