more about me!

Welcome to my portfolio!

Hi! I’m Lily! I am currently wrapping up my bachelor's degree in Marketing from the University of Kansas this May 2025 (Rock Chalk!). Growing up in Wichita, Kansas, I’ve always had a knack for creativity & storytelling, which naturally pulled me into the creative, opportunity-filled world of marketing.

I am passionate about food, friendship, fashion (the 3 F’s!), travel, beauty, the arts, & simply embracing life to the fullest.

Currently, I’m juggling a couple of exciting roles. I am helping manage digital marketing & content for Dirndl Kitchen, a German food blog, & overseeing social media strategy at Shaw Plastic Surgery. Both positions have given me the chance to develop my graphic design skills, & dive deep into platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, & Facebook, leveraging SEO strategies & crafting content that truly engages & builds communities. Additionally, I just accepted a remote intern position with The Pearl Agency, a boutique branding agency based in New York that primarily works with luxury brands. I am eager to gain experience in a different, exciting industry & have an impact on brand marketing for real-world clients.

Last summer, I spent time in Rome, Italy interning as a social media, marketing, & AI intern for Italian Itinerary, a boutique travel agency. Immersed in Italy's unique culture, I learned so much about social media strategy, navigating AI tools, & understanding marketing differences from a global perspective.

Outside of my professional experience, serving as Vice President of Membership Programming for Alpha Chi Omega has enhanced my leadership, communication, & event-planning skills. I had the opportunity to coordinate several memorable events for 400+ attendees, coordinating with venues, vendors, chapter members, etc… This position allowed me to master strong communication skills & learn how to efficiently juggle multiple projects at once.

Here, you will find varying projects that showcase my marketing experience in the classroom, as well as in the professional world. I hope you will understand more of who I am, my skillset, & how I approach problem-solving & marketing strategy.

With graduation around the corner, I’m packing my bags & moving to the city! (New York, New York). I’m excited to bring my creativity, strategic thinking, & collaborative spirit into a new role. I feel more confident than ever that my outgoing, zest-for-life spirit, & unwavering work ethic have the potential to make an impact in the marketing world. I am eager to gain more professional experience & learn even more about marketing, myself, & the world. I am especially interested in any opportunities within hospitality, travel, food, beauty, & fashion.

Thanks for dropping by my portfolio. I’d love to connect & chat more!
