Research

I developed a crisis communication plan addressing a potential mold outbreak at Appalachian State University and created a full PR campaign strategy to support the College of Fine and Applied Arts' Celebration of Excellence event.

Crisis Communication Plan

Appalachian State’s Crisis Communication Plan was put into place to aid the university in its systematic approach to responding to potential crises. The plan serves as the framework for a variety of potential crises within the university. The plan will be revised as the university learns how to best respond to conflict quickly and efficiently. 

PR Campaign

I collaborated with Jackson & Johnson PR Co. to create a strategic campaign for the College of Fine and Applied Arts' Celebration of Excellence at Appalachian State University. Our work included audience research, message development, timeline planning, and event promotion strategies to increase faculty and staff engagement, attendance, and nominations.

Design

Throughout my college experience, I created a variety of design projects, including an infographic for Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture’s Double Up Food Bucks program, a brochure for Chris Capozzoli Guitars, and a scripted podcast I developed and produced independently.
