My Experience
Resident Assistant
LSU Residential Life | Aug. 2023 - May 2025
For two years, I served as a resident assistant with LSU Residential Life. Working in both hall-style and suite-style bath communities, I have had the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships among a diverse group of residents.
Along with event planning, creating building decorations, and community administration, I enforce policies outlined in the LSU Living On-Campus Handbook when incidents arise and mediate conflict-resolution meetings as needed.
In 2024, I was named Most Valuable Player at our annual RA banquet. This award was voted on by each community's staff and was given to the RA without whom the staff could not function. I was honored to receive this award, but I also recognize how essential teamwork is among LSU Residential Life to provide the utmost care and attention to every first-year student on campus. I was also awarded the Unsung Hero award in 2025 for my work in the SouthWest community, which is given to the RA who performs duties that are often not recognized by the rest of the team but are essential to the staff's success.
Command Your Career Coordinator
Louisiana State University of Alexandria Center for Engaged Teaching and Learning | Aug. 2025 - Present
Command Your Career is LSUA's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) that has one goal: to ensure all LSUA graduates are career-ready. In my role, I develop career-shaping opportunities for students in each stage of their college experience, through planning signature events, collaborating with faculty to integrate career readiness into the curriculum, and managing an online space for students to access career-readiness resources.
A hallmark of my time at LSUA so far was planning and executing LSUA's first-ever full-scale Job Shadow Day event, where we paired 65 students across academic disciplines with an employer host for job shadowing. I look forward to continuing to create meaningful experiences for LSUA students as they find their purposeful career path.
Communications
Marketing Intern
LSU Residential Life | Aug. 2024- May 2025
As a representative of my RA community, South and West Halls (SouthWest), I maintained and operated the community's Instagram page with posts at least once a week. I created engaging content using a variety of media (graphics, photos, video, etc.) for the account and LSU Res Life as a whole.
This experience allowed me to develop my content creation skills as well as jump on popular trends, pop culture references, and community-specific events to increase online engagement. I am still eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn from other communication professionals in the higher education space and put my skills into action for the community where I lived and worked.
Deputy Chief of Staff
LSU Student Government | Aug. 2024 - May 2025
As Deputy Chief of Staff for LSU Student Government, I maintained and completed internal tasks that kept the Student Government organized and standardized. A large part of my role was maintaining records of our large executive staff, which consists of almost 100 students. Using a spreadsheet I have perfected down to a science, I monitor members' meeting attendance and student outreach (volunteer) points.
I also aid the Chief of Staff in sending out organization-wide emails called "What's Up in Exec?" and planning out executive staff meetings.
As Deputy Chief of Staff, I was very proud of the end-of-semester report I created for the student body President, Vice President, and Chief of Staff. Using member feedback, I collected data and raw responses to provide suggestions as to how the organization can improve in the future.
Director of Blogs & Vlogs
Manship Olympics Project | July 2024- Aug. 2024
As Director of Blogs and Vlogs for the Manship Olympic Project study abroad program, I oversaw a team of 7 students who specialized in written blogs and short-form and long-form vlogs/videos.
In the weeks leading up to the two-week program, I developed a large content calendar that outlined all social media and blog posts for the duration of the program and pre-planned content to be posted each day. This content calendar spanned beyond just the blogs and vlogs team, including our podcasting, social media, and photography posts.
Throughout the program, I also contributed significantly to social media (short-form video) and blog writing. The short-form content that I produced for the Manship Olympics' social media resulted in over 51,000 views from all videos combined.
Assistant Director of Marketing
LSU Student Government | May 2023 - May 2024
In my role as Assistant Director of Marketing, I worked alongside a team of five other assistant directors under the guidance of the director of marketing to produce graphics, photos, and short-form videos for LSU Student Government's social media pages. From making graphics and attending events, I was able to highlight the unique opportunities the Student Government provides students year-round.
I was also one of the individuals who worked to start and maintain the LSU Student Government's TikTok account. This account was my first taste of harnessing trends and pop culture to promote more serious or professional aspects of Student Government.
Manship Ambassador
Manship School of Mass Communication |
April 2023 - May 2025
Manship Ambassadors serve as a resource for incoming, current, and prospective students as they seek resources, advice, and expertise from current students. From working events like the AP Style Smackdown or the Louisiana Scholastic Press Association conference, my time as a Manship Ambassador provided me with the opportunity to give back to my senior college.
Speaking to incoming students, especially, is something that fills me with so much joy. I love inspiring students to pursue unique opportunities, such as the Manship Olympics Project or to commit to a career in mass communication.
Graphic Design Chair
LSU Musical Theatre Club | May 2024 - May 2025
The Graphic Design Chair of the LSU Musical Theatre Club was responsible for creating all graphics for any events, performances, auditions, etc. that the club hosts. This role was quite challenging for me at first because it was uncharted territory for me design-wise. However, I quickly found a groove and began to settle into the position,
I've created graphics for televisions, flyers, Instagram graphics, story posts -- essentially everything you can imagine! Designing graphics for theatre organizations requires a good bit of brain power and creativity, but I was willing to take on challenges and difficulties along the way.
In addition to creating graphics for the organization, I also served on the LSU Musical Theatre Club Board, which is a team of individuals who work together to decide on performance opportunities, events, workshops, etc. that would best benefit the club. I enjoyed this aspect of the position as it has allowed me to create meaningful connections and learn valuable lessons in the theatre field.
Bengal Bound Orientation Leader
LSU Office of Transition and Student Success - Feb. 2023 - Aug. 2023
As a Bengal Bound Orientation Leader, I made a direct impact on the lives of incoming LSU students. I served as a guide and source of information regarding academics, policies and procedures, campus services, activities, building locations, and all other aspects of life at LSU for incoming students. Through small group discussions during Bengal Bound Orientation and related experiences, I provided proactive coaching, mentoring, and encouragement to current and incoming students throughout their transition to LSU.
Most importantly, I fostered an inclusive, accepting atmosphere among all students and families to increase retention rates, belonging, and community on LSU’s campus.
