As Manager of Marketing & Communications for the Student Executive Council, I help shape how our Full-time MBA cohort connects with each other and the broader Smith community. I lead internal and external communications, everything from social media and newsletters to event promotions and branded swag, while making sure our messaging stays true to the Smith brand.

I also act as the bridge between the SEC, the Smith Marketing team and student-led clubs, helping keep messaging consistent and promotions coordinated across all platforms.

With a background in Marketing and experience in digital campaigns, social media and event planning, I bring a mix of creativity and strategy to the role. I took this on to challenge myself, grow my network and contribute to making this year’s MBA experience as engaging and connected as possible.

My goals for this year are to revamp the monthly newsletter, grow Smith MBA’s social media presence, highlight the wide range of experiences in our cohort and support collaboration between the SEC and student clubs. I want to end this year with a more connected, vibrant and dynamic community for all of us.
