As a believer in advancing my skills, I have decided to involve myself within my major. I have been a part of Auburn University’s student-run PR agency “The Oaks Agency” for two semesters. Recently, I joined the Auburn Plainsman as a lifestyle reporter. I am involved in Onward campus ministries as a Bible study leader, and am a member of Chi Omega sorority. Starting January 2026, I began working with an Auburn boutique to expand their social media presence.
Charming Oaks Boutique
I have been working with Charming Oaks’ marketing and social media presence since January 2026. In this position, I gather content from within the store, post reels, posts and stories, and track social media insights to broaden their audience. Tap the images below to view my content.
Charming Oaks Boutique is a fashion-forward women’s clothing store in Auburn, Ala.
I post twice daily, and here is an example of the content I post.
Here is one of the Instagram Reels I have made for the boutique using CapCut.
The Oaks Agency
I have been a member of Auburn University’s student-run PR firm for two semesters. Last semester, I served as the Director of Earned Media for the Oaks Agency. This semester, I was promoted to Account Manager for the Auburn-Opelika Running and Track Association, where I attend races, gather content and create reels. I serve as the liaison between my company and my team of college students.
The Auburn Plainsman Newspaper
This semester, I reached outside of my comfort zone and joined The Auburn Plainsman as a Lifestyle Reporter. I completed seven articles—two in the print edition and five online. My Art Print Edition article received a shoutout and was placed as the first article in the magazine. Through this experience, I was stretched and challenged as a writer, learned how to interview local sources and met incredible people I wouldn’t have met otherwise.
Onward Campus Ministries
As a Bible study leader for Onward, I plan lessons each week and host twelve freshman girls at my house. I encourage them, mentor them and follow up with them throughout the week. On the Onward fall retreat, I helped lead a group of girls, using a list of questions provided after each lesson.
Chi Omega
As a member of Chi Omega, I have learned not only how to deepen friendships and connections, but also give back to the community through our philanthropy Make-A-Wish. As a sorority, we have raised dues to grant kids’ wishes, participated in color runs and given in local drives not pictured.
Sometimes the most meaningful parts of involvement are the elements you wouldn’t expect. It’s not the résumé boosters, skills you expect to learn or positions you hope to acquire; it’s the challenges, growth, unexpected friendships and fulfillment of service that have revealed my love for involvement.
I earned an Adobe Creative Skills Badge in Job Application Essentials, where I learned how to properly make my application stand out against others, design my resume and cover letter with my own personal touch and choose a proper headshot photograph. The last step of the course taught me how to create my LinkedIn header, hyperlinked with a template for creating it.
