@danielleoconnor
Communications undergraduate skilled in content creation, strategic storytelling, and multimedia production.
What I'm looking for
I am a Communications undergraduate with strong experience in content creation, editorial work, and event support, graduating May 2026 from Long Island University. I combine strategic communication skills with hands-on media production to tell compelling stories across social channels and print.
In campus media I serve as Social Media Manager and Assistant Sports Editor for The Tide, where I develop Instagram content, edit articles, and coordinate with writers and photographers to boost engagement and maintain editorial standards.
My professional experience includes a summer photo-studio internship in creative services at 1-800-Flowers.com, where I assisted in product shoots and collaborated with social teams, sharpening my visual storytelling, creative direction, and digital content skills.
I have leadership experience as Class President and roles in student government and Kappa Kappa Gamma, and I seek opportunities where I can apply multimedia production, marketing, and relationship-building to support entertainment or editorial teams.
