On May 12th, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs with a B.A. in Policy Studies and a minor in Information Management and Technology from the School of Information Studies. These past four years have been nothing short of transformative. Along with my studies, two key responsibilities have greatly contributed to my academic success at Syracuse University. In the fall of my senior year, I served as the Vice President of Membership for the Beta Tau chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. In this role, I worked tirelessly to manage over 150 members through a highly successful spring recruitment. This experience taught me invaluable lessons in leadership, management, and problem-solving. It was incredibly rewarding to welcome a new member class of over 65 underclassmen into an organization that offered me a home away from home. In addition to my demanding position on our executive board, I had the incredible opportunity to work as a digital intern for Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media. I began my internship in May of 2023 and continued throughout my senior year. Working alongside the digital team, including Minou Clark, Lauren C. Zupkus, Claire Kraemer, and Kalina Phillips, has been extremely educational and inspiring. Through this internship, I have significantly expanded my knowledge of digital media. Additionally, I had the chance to gain more experience with 11:11 as an Impact intern, assisting Hilton’s efforts to spread awareness about the troubled teen industry and support the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. Working with Rebecca Grone has deepened my understanding of policy, aligning perfectly with my major at Syracuse. I feel extremely grateful to have been able to explore my passions for digital media and social justice through the efforts of the iconic Paris Hilton. My last year at Syracuse was busy and definitely challenging. However, I am proud to say that not only did I excel in my position and internships, but I also maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my senior year. Determination was a theme of my senior year and I am extremely proud of all I was able to accomplish in only twelve months. I am thrilled to announce that my time at 11:11 Media is not over! I have accepted a full-time position as a Digital Associate in New York! I would like to thank Bruce Gersh, Minou Clark, Rebecca Grone, and everyone else who has supported me along this journey. Working for a woman as inspiring as Paris Hilton has been nothing short of a dream, and I’m ready to continue #Sliving!
