Communications & Client Success Coordinator

• Oct 2019 - Jun 2020

As The Client Success Coordinator, I was constantly surrounded by multimedia platforms and witnessed the power of an engaged audience. Working for a small business, I became seasoned in wearing multiple hats and simultaneously performing several duties in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment. A large part of my role at Stakt Media involved public appearances within the community connecting organizations and people together. From planning and implementing an idea to fostering an event, I enjoyed investing in each detail for the end result. I regularly attended events, coordinated the magazine’s advertisements, made cold calls, met with new and existing clients, worked on the radio show component, and focused on client engagement. I quickly became intrigued and fascinated with the integration of media and the influence that leadership in media possess. Show less

Orientation Leader

• Dec 2015 - Aug 2016

As an Orientation Leader, I assisted incoming freshman and transfer students with their transition to the Ole Miss campus.

It was also important as an Orientation Leader to ease parents and families as they adjust to this transition. The Orientation program participated in the annual Southern Regional Orientation Workshop (SROW). This conference provided The Ole Miss Orientation Program an opportunity to share ideas and traditions with other universities. The Ole Miss Orientation Team had the honor of representing Ole Miss through our traditions and southern hospitality! Show less
