As Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications for Student Affairs, one of my primary responsibilities is oversight for our student Media Team. In this capacity, I operate as both a creative director and project manager for multiple teams working on various projects for the organizations housed under the division of Student Affairs.
Early in my professional career, I used our office’s existing framework to help with the conceptualization, development, and institution of a credited internship program for students interested in Graphic Design, Photography, Video, Social Media, Journalism and Web Design/Development. Working with both our office’s staff and professional schools at Rutgers, I created learning objectives for each of these areas and worked with our team to develop various recruitment tools to help our growth. Since instituting this internship program, we have graduated over 70 students who now work in various creative and technical positions across the country.
