Syracuse University Student|Communication and Rhetorical Studies |AI and Emerging Media & Business Minors|Aspiring PR & Marketing Professional
I am currently studying Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, with minors in Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Media through the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and Business through the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. I'm interested in public relations and marketing, but I'm still figuring out exactly what I want to do. I know I enjoy being creative, working with people, and understanding what makes people connect.
I'm passionate about creativity, communication, and connecting with people. I believe taking the time to understand others is at the heart of meaningful communication, and I’m excited to bring that approach to opportunities in public relations and marketing.
I believe meaningful connections start with listening, being open to different perspectives, and making people feel included. Whether I’m working with children, volunteering in my community, or creating something for an audience, I want people to feel understood and valued.
To me, leadership means paying attention to what others need and being someone they can count on. My experiences as a camp counselor, babysitter, and member of UJA-JCC Greenwich’s Teen Changemakers program have shown me that small actions can make a difference. Taking the time to listen, helping someone feel comfortable, and following through on a responsibility all matter.
I see creativity as a way to connect with people. Studying Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, along with my minors in Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Media and Business, gives me different ways to explore that interest. My digital marketing internship at MyronPromos helped me see how an idea can become a message that catches someone’s attention and gives them something to connect with.
I’m still exploring where my interests will take me, and I want to stay open to new experiences. Whatever path I choose, I hope to bring curiosity, creativity, and care to my work, keep learning from the people around me, and contribute in ways that feel meaningful.
Philosophy
Mohawk Day camp
Working at Mohawk Day Camp for three summers helped me develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills. I gained experience working with children, managing responsibilities, and creating a fun and positive environment.
Myron promos
My experience at Myron Promos gave me exposure to the business world, particularly marketing and promotional products. I learned more about branding, customer engagement, and how businesses use creative products to promote themselves.
Childcare
Through babysitting, I developed responsibility, patience, and problem-solving skills. I learned how to manage different situations, communicate with families, and create a safe and positive environment for children.
Volunteer Work
I have been involved in volunteer work through the JCC, participating in fundraising events, community service projects, and activities that support others. I have also participated in beach cleanups and other volunteer opportunities. These experiences have helped me develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while giving back to my community.
Brand Statement
I am a caring, confident, and dependable leader who leads by putting people first. Naturally curious and observant, I have a skill for understanding group dynamics, noticing things others might miss, and offering thoughtful guidance. Whether it's building trust, bringing energy to things I'm passionate about, or using humor to get through challenging situations, I take pride in being someone people can rely on to step up and lead. I'm interested in pursuing a career in public relations or marketing, where I can use my creativity, communication skills, and ability to connect with others.
