Ball State College of Fine Arts

My internship as a marketing assistant with the Ball State College of Fine Arts required me to not only plan ahead and develop content on a schedule but taught me how to think on my feet to react to crisis communication, content interactions, market changes, and more. Not only did I plan and develop the content used for both @ballstatecfa and @bsutheatredance on Instagram and Facebook, but I also helped to implement strategies to boost ticket sales with the "Flock Together" initiative and to encourage prospective student looks into the campus by coordinating "Day in the Life" and "Opening Takeover" Instagram story takeovers by diverse students in the Theatre/Dance Department.

2018-Present

Because of the length of time I have been assisting at Final Bow, I have worn many hats. In my first two shows with Company, the name of the theatrical group at the studio, I was on the stage crew. In my next show, Frozen Jr., I was a volunteer choreographer and student director, and this included doing tasks in casting theatrical photography, and marketing. After this, I became paid staff as the assistant director and choreographer for Annie Jr. and Peter Pan Jr. Since leaving this paid position I have worked as a volunteer production assistant and paid choreographer on Little Mermaid Jr. and Singin' in the Rain Jr. This still includes duties in casting, costuming, set work, and theatrical photography and marketing.

During my time at Versailles High School, I was heavily active in the Musical Theatre program. Not only did I participate onstage from 2011 until my graduation in 2020 on top of working backstage on sets and costumes, but I also volunteered to be the first theatrical marketing intern. Through this, I established the first VHS Musical Theatre Instagram (@vhsmusicaltheatre1) and created a following, as well as publishing articles in traditional media such as The Versailles Policy newspaper. I also helped to create the necessary documents for both the future interns and the advisor, leading me to also be part of the selection committee to find my replacements, and then I trained both new interns for the job.
