Experience

Where strategy met place.

As part of my COM & COMSTRAT 475 courses through WSU’s Murrow College, I spent about three weeks in Greece exploring strategic communication, international branding, and storytelling firsthand.

Our team created a full marketing campaign for Ktima Gerovassiliou, a family-owned winery near Thessaloniki. We developed a campaign targeting climate-conscious North American consumers ages 25–40, highlighting Malagousia’s vegan-friendly production, sustainable values, and mango-forward flavor.

I focused on research, messaging strategy, public speaking, and aligning our story with audience interests in authenticity, ethics, and immersive experiences. Our team presented the work to a panel of judges and won the competition.
