  I took charge of Wyoming's largest social media campaign, #ThatsWY, spanning across X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram from February 2019 to January 2020.Through engaging content and strategic outreach, I successfully showcased Wyoming's unique charm and attractions to a diverse online audience.I assisted with coordinated media initiatives like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, resulting in extensive coverage of southeast Wyoming in their highly anticipated July issue, and... ...The Washington Post, resulting in comprehensive coverage of Cheyenne, Wyoming in an article titled "Things to do in Cheyenne," amplifying the city's attractions and activities to a broader audience (examples below).I played a pivotal role in the production of the 2020 Wyoming Official Travel Guide, co-editing over 130 pages for both digital and hard-copy versions. This collaborative effort ensured that visitors had access to comprehensive and engaging information about Wyoming's attractions, accommodations, and activities.And I also wrote some pretty fun blogs for TravelWyoming.com, including one about a sweet little creature called the Jackalope that gets used annually on April Fool's Day (below).

  UWAA's digital engagement strategic target? 🎯 To extend reach, deepen connections, and inspire a wave of philanthropic support for UW Foundation initiatives.At the heart of our strategy lay the power of storytelling, brought to life through monthly video updates shared via YouTube and Salesforce Marketing Cloud (example below).Recognizing the pivotal role of social media in shaping modern connections, I crafted a comprehensive strategy for consistent engagement across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, built off the foundation of my colleagues' project management.I also oversaw the operations of UWAA's digital engagement internship program, nurturing the talents of 2 budding strategists who breathed life into our website and social media channels.Outside the digital world, I wrote and edited over 40 pages of AlumNews magazine content per year (examples below). Show less What began as a simple metric and growth target initiative evolved into a robust corporate engagement endeavor and it all started with......my establishment of a cross-departmental database to track employer interactions on campus.In my role, I meticulously managed a diverse portfolio of 60 companies, resulting in the creation of annual internship opportunities for the College of Arts & Sciences, alongside over 500 unique engagement opportunities. In collaboration with my peers, I co-created "When Cowboys Call, We Answer," a program dedicated to providing career services to 100% of the university's 2020 graduates seeking employment (press release below). Additionally, I introduced the Management Conference & Exhibition program to campus, resulting in employment offers for 100% of participating students.I also continued investing in personal development, obtaining my master's in communication and a certification in Inclusionary & Global Leadership to refine my leadership skills in managing a diverse staff (certificate below).
