Summary
As a senior at the University of Arizona, I have done my best to get involved in as many different outlets as possible to better prepare for a future in social media. More specifically, I have currently been the social media chair for the University of Arizona Cheerleading and Mascot Team for the past 4 years. Some of my roles include posting on social media platforms, creating flyers and advertisements for different events, and organizing photos and videos from game days. Apart from social media, I also have the role of Cheerleading Captain for this year's term. Some responsibilities I possess include cultivating a strong game day atmosphere and being the direct line of communication between coaches and athletes.
