My Work
MEJO 533 - Crisis Communication
Crisis Communication is among the most difficult yet rewarding classes at Carolina. We jumped headfirst into crisis communication with in-class tabletop exercises, a mock press conference, and the creation of a full-length crisis communication plan. Below are links to my group's Norfolk Southern crisis plan addressing the 2023 East Palestine, OH train derailment and press conference media kit.
MEJO 531 - Public Relations Case Studies
Sometimes there is no better way to learn than to observe. In MEJO 531: PR Case Studies, students study real life case studies and extract public relations lessons that apply to current and future public relations campaigns. Below is my case study on the NWSL's 2021 crisis response.
MEJO 371 - Advertising Creative
Advertising Creative is a class that will challenge you. Each assignment is designed to get you one step closer to a complete, on-brief, and creative advertisement. It's easier said than done. Below are a few of my submissions.
