As a public relations student, my skill set has expanded beyond traditional writing like press releases and op-eds to include designing graphics and building my own personal branding suite in my Style & Design class. Throughout this course, I have worked on specific projects and collaborated in groups to create a full pitch deck. This experience has prepared me for real-world applications, such as creating my first Reel with the Oaks Agency and designing social media graphics. I now feel confident using Adobe platforms to create and execute my own designs.
In this course, I earned an Adobe Creative Skills Badge in Job Application Essentials by completing a multi-step series of videos and assignments focused on effective communication using Adobe Express, Acrobat, Lightroom, InDesign, and Stock. Through this process, I learned how to make my application stand out by designing a personalized resume and cover letter, as well as selecting a strong, professional headshot. The final step of the course focused on creating a LinkedIn header using a hyperlinked template, helping me bring all elements of my personal brand together.
The Fight Against Suicide (TFAS)
This year, I had the opportunity to serve on the marketing team at TFAS, where I was honored to help manage its social media presence and promote its mission. In this role, I created graphics, contributed content, and helped run their Instagram to engage audiences and increase awareness. Through this experience, I strengthened my skills in content creation, branding, and strategic communication while supporting an organization with a meaningful purpose. Some of my work from this role is highlighted below.
