BA 2022, Public Relations & Strategic Communications

Account Coordinator
Agency H5
Chicago, IL

 

With a love for creative and strategic branding and communications, I currently serve as an account coordinator at Agency H5, a full spectrum marketing and PR agency. With my amazing team, we support and create meaningful moments, leveraging media relations, influencer activations, social and digital campaigns and uplifting key brand strategies and standards.

 

Before I joined the H5 team, I worked as a brand strategist for Purdue University and Boiler Ambassadors, as well as supporting brands in the food and agriculture spaces. With a background of growing up on a row crop and livestock farm raising sheep and cattle, I have an incredible appreciation for hard work, adaptability, problem solving and teamwork. I believe in staying curious and always being grounded in truth, especially when developing new activations, to create the strongest results.

 

As a self-classified “forever learner,” I love looking for new information, data and insights to further my knowledge and help support key initiatives. I am a proud second generation Boilermaker and received my Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Strategic Communications from Purdue University.

 

As a Chicago transplant, I moved to Lincoln Park where you can find me spending time in my community, at the local farmer’s market, getting a lift in at the gym, or grabbing a bite to eat with friends! I am so excited to be returning to Purdue to speak to SCLA 300 about life post-grad, finding jobs, marketing yourself to employers and building your personal and professional brand.
