Work outside the classroom

Currently, I am wearing many hats. I am a Public Relations Intern at AMPERAGE Marketing and Fundraising. In this role, I work remotely under the Public Relations director. I write articles and press materials daily, conduct research, prepare content schedules, and compile media lists – primarily for manufacturing and nonprofit clients. 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 brainstorming strategy and planning content to be utilized through the next year.

Additionally, I am a Marketing and Communications Intern with the Iowa City Free Medical and Dental Clinic, where I help create the quarterly newsletter and create multimedia 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 and photo and video editing and how to produce content targeted toward specific audiences.

More Than A Moment

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 impact the team had 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 the players will stick with me as I look towards the future.
