UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Communications Intern (Lead Designer)
For the Office of Undergraduate Admissions I use market-based multimedia to find innovative ways to recruit prospective students. My task with the Communications Department ranged from blog writing (featured at the foot of this page) to graphics and video narratives.
My largest projects were my UNC "Pop Up Video" Campaign, allowing prospective students to take virtual tours, to coordinating a week focusing on Internship and Career resources at UNC. I was also responsible for producing social media content, advertisements, videos, blogs and logos, etc. for the Admissions Communications Team.

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County
Strategic Marketing and Communication Intern
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (HHOC) is a non-profit organization that offers the opportunity for low-income Orange County families to purchase affordable homes. Since 1984, HHOC has built more than 230 homes locally and funded more than 140 homes internationally. HHOC is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, the largest private homebuilder in the United States.
As a strategic marketing and communication intern at Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (HHOC), I developed marketing materials including, but not limited to, brochures, pamphlets, and fliers, created and implement a social/new media communications plan, and prepared press releases for all media worthy events.
This experience was both rewarding and beneficial, as I also assisted with the writing and production of newsletters, e-communications, and solicitations, assisted with the promotion of builds and special events, assisted with the re-design of the HHOC website, including drafting web friendly language, and developing, scheduling, and evaluating new media efforts online and researching ways in which HHOC can reach new audiences.

JOMC 582: After the Shooting
Graphics, Video and Coding
This project was an interactive webpage produced by my multimedia narratives course. We wanted to continue the conversation surrounding the #chapelhillshooting once the media began to frame it as a parking dispute rather than a hate crime. We broke down some of the factors we thought were
"overlooked" and allowed experts in those areas to come together for thought provoking conversations.My role with this project involved generating questions related to religious intolerance, mental health, gun rights, and media for the people interviewed. I was also responsible for monitoring the camera and audio on our mock set to ensure that the video was produced professionally.
I envisioned and wire-framed the web design for this project and assisted our web editor with the coding for this project and fixed some of the minor coding issues related to the aesthetics of the project.
This work was tweeted out by various news sites (including Blue Chalk and Media Storm to name a few) and featured on LA Times' Framework.

Motion Graphics

The Siren
Writing/Editing
I served as the executive editor and founder of the Siren, UNC-Chapel Hill's gender equity student-produced publication, promoting a feminist perspective on issues surrounding gender, identity, sexuality and human rights. The Siren provides readers with resources for discovering, developing and challenging their self-identities and life philosophies by exposing the daily world to the glaring examination of feminist critique. In this way, we aim to address the challenges of inequality not only globally and nationally, but particularly within the UNC-CH community.Though writing and editing the work of our writers and working with incredible organizations on campus including the Women's Center, the Campus Y, the Center for Global Initiatives, and Student Congress, I have learned a great deal about leadership and publishing.

By attending trade shows, including InfoComm 2014, Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) 2014, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2015, and Digital Signage Expo (DSE) 2015, I have gained knowledge about about HomeAV, ProAV, technology, business development, product development, Vertical AV Markets, and digital signage. All of these technologies can be used for innovative marketing and advertising in consumer markets.
