From 2024–2025, I completed two internships for the
Department of Communication
at Christopher Newport University.
I completed a Social Media Internship
under Dr. Raffi Sarkissian and an
Alumni Marketing Internship under Dr. Alice Veksler.

Colby Cook and I conducted an
Independent Study on Marketing and
Alumni Engagement under Dr. Veksler,
where we organized alumni speaker events,
including one with Rico Francis, to inspire stud
ents and highlight career paths in communication.
We also developed a fundraiser for
the department by researching student-friendly
ticket pricing to support scholarships.
As part of the project, I also led a
“day in the life” Instagram story takeover
on the CNU Communication account
to further engage students and
showcase the experience.
