As someone who has always enjoyed working (and having a steady income), it was hard not having that outlet freshman year of college. So I knew from that point on I wanted to work while doing school, that’s how I found the Strategic Relations & Communications department. I was already a Strategic Communications major so I knew this would be a perfect fit.

At first I was strictly project based helping the department during a crucial web migration period. I would spend most of my time editing articles and pictures for optimal viewing. When that came to an end, I received an email asking if I could become a Student Assistant for SRC. I quickly accepted.

From that point on I did a variety of jobs answering to multiple different bosses. I used Excel, Cision, Asana, Adobe, Extensis, and more doing many jobs like tagging website mentions, creating lockup, and making spreadsheets to organize information clearly.

Finally, in the beginning of my junior year they arranged for me to start helping out the SRC graphic designer, from there is how I got the role as Design Production Intern. Now in a normal week I make lockups, type treatments, social posts that are cohesive to the art direction, advertisements, name tents and badges, and stickers.
