About Me

About Me

Hi there! I'm Abby, a graduate from the University of Georgia with degrees in marketing and public relations. I've created this portfolio to show you all the projects I have worked on during my time in the lovely Athens, Georgia. 

​

I am a detail-oriented individual who thrives in fast-pace environments-- hence my love for event planning! Please keep scrolling to get a feel for who I am and how I spent some of my time at UGA, inside and outside the classroom.

Alpha Gamma Delta, 2015- 2019

During my time as an Alpha Gam, I developed friendships and leadership skills.

I spent 2017 as sisterhood coordinator. With this role, I managed a budget of $25,000 and planned 12 events for up to 250 attendees-- brunches, yoga in the park, movies on the lawn, and even an "Easter egg hunt" where I hid $5 gift cards all over the lawn. It was an extremely fun position, but it also allowed me to meet more women in the chapter, learn how to make my ideas become a reality, and work with a team. 

 

In 2018, I held a position on our executive council as VP of Event Planning. For this role, I planned 9 date nights with up to 500 attendees at each event with hefty budget of $51,000. This role was double the responsibility of my last, and I also felt my passion for details and execution double during the process. It was really rewarding to be one of the 13 leaders running our chapter. Both years, I was granted a scholarship from the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation for my active participation. 

 

Check out the "Events" tab for a quick run down of some of my Alpha Gam events. I also have a couple of blog posts about my very favorite events, including Formal and my DIY donut wall.

Aerie Brand Ambassador, 2018

I served as a brand ambassador for a pop-up shop on campus my junior year. I worked with a team of 3 other ambassadors to create a marketing plan that encompassed digital tactics as well as on-campus promotion. 

​

American Marketing Association, 2017-2018

I listened to weekly guest speakers and attend networking events with AMA. I also attended SparkSouth marketing conference in Fall 2017.

​

Economics Tutoring, 2017-2019

My junior and senior year, I met with 9 students to tutor Econ 2200, a class that focused on the Economic Development of the United States. This opportunity taught me how to prepare for a tutoring session, gauge the feelings of the student I am tutoring, and practice leadership skills among my peers. 

​

UGA Miracle, 2016-2018

I attended 3 Dance Marathons and raised over $2,100 for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta during this time. I was on the Community Outreach committee my sophomore year where I helped put on mini dance marathons at high schools in Georgia.

 

Junior year, I was an Assistant Chair for the Fundraising Committee. This involved leading a committee of 44 members with  team of 4. 

​

UGA Wesley Foundation, 2015-2019

I attended weekly Wednesday night services and had a "discipler" who I meet with each week for two years. This is a great community that allowed me to practice my religious faith even with a busy college schedule.
