Background On September 5th, 2018, I began my first day at an internship with the globally-known publication that has captivated Texans (born-and-raised as well as Texans-at-heart). The collaboration was through the advertising department with UT’s Moody College, and included regular check-ins, assignments, and evaluations; as well as a speaker series. However, the internship came aboutContinue reading “Texas Monthly”

PDF 1 PDF 2 Above are parts 1 and 2 of a project that was months in the making. A team and I from a media planning course formed the unofficial agency The Elevate Group and created a communication strategy request for proposal for the Austin company Groovy Automotive.

In early February of 2018, I was accepted by a distinguished UT professor to be one of her undergraduate Research Assistants. As of right now we are still setting plans up, but I will post published information here once I have it.

ThisContinue reading “Study Abroad: BFP Semester Plus in Mexico City”

For a class in Advertising Creativity, I was asked to work with a group of seven to produce a brand manifesto for the notebook brand Field Notes over the course of two weeks. After multiple long brainstorming sessions, we decided that their cliche self-description of “back to your roots” etc online didn’t capture the trueContinue reading “Creative Portfolio: Brand Manifesto Example”

BFP Tracking As seen by the progress-tracking page screenshot above, I was not only in the massively-successful Business Foundations Program but performed with Distinction.

As noted by theContinue reading “Business Foundations Program”
