Master’s Projects
The following projects were created during my Master’s of Media Leadership program at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Entrepreneurial Leadership Project: The Scene RVA, a social media and event marketing entrepreneurship
For my Entrepreneurial Media class, I created The Scene RVA, a digital platform designed to connect Richmond-area residents and visitors with local events, experiences, and businesses.The project combines strategic communication, branding, content creation, and digital marketing to address a common challenge: helping people discover what’s happening in Richmond in a centralized, user-friendly way.
Capstone Project: Richline Jewelry digital marketing campaign
For my final Capstone project, I combined my experience at Richline Jewelry as a marketing and merchandising intern with my technical and strategic skills acquired during my Master’s program to create a seasonal newsletter campaign. The project, which was targeted to partners and retailers, combined trend reports, seasonal newsletters, and information about trends in fine jewelry.
