Elliott Kirby
Summary
I am a 2023 college graduate with a degree in media studies and a minor in marketing seeking employment in the media field. My experience with the media industry and social media content creation includes my time at the college radio station, WZIP 88.1, working within the sports department, as well as the extensive knowledge of using social media as a promotional tool that I've gained through years of being an active musician. I also posses a strong personal connection to collegiate athletics, being a former college athlete myself, and growing up in and around college sports due to my father coaching basketball at that level for nearly two decades.
