This semester was filled with valuable learning experiences and exciting new opportunities. To begin, I’d like to share my journey as a Not Your Mother’s Haircare Ambassador through Home From College. This was my second ambassadorship with Home From College, and I look forward to pursuing more opportunities like this in the future. As an ambassador, I was responsible for promoting some of the new All Eyes On Me product line, and a new dry shampoo totatling to three distinct products. My role involved distributing each product at separate events and creating unique content to highlight their features and benefits. I truly enjoyed my time as an ambassador, as it allowed me to channel my creativity into promoting a brand I already know and love. One of the most rewarding moments was receiving feedback from friends who shared that they use these products daily and had already run out of what I distributed. This feedback reassured me that I had successfully fulfilled my role. I’m excited to take on my next ambassadorship and want to thank everyone who gave the product a try! (you can find all at a Ulta near you! :))

As the semester comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible opportunities I’ve had, thanks to Home From College. One of the biggest highlights has been the chance to create content for brands like Naked Sundays SPF, LARQ, DoorList, Favs, Verve Coffee Roasters, Chipped, roe Wellness, Partiful, and Gauth. Through these projects, I’ve learned how to tell a brand’s story in a way that feels genuine and relatable, whether it’s crafting engaging social media posts or connecting with an audience through videos. I’ve grown in my ability to adapt to different styles and voices, stay on top of trends, and create content that resonates with people. Working as a Campus Connector for Fabletics was another amazing experience. I had the chance to create content and represent the brand while engaging with its community in meaningful ways. From planning events to showcasing products, I saw how impactful authentic engagement can be and how important it is to create experiences that leave a lasting impression. I’m also incredibly grateful for the people I’ve worked with along the way, like James Shipley, Saba Karim, Kendall Tompkins, Noah Wong, and Julia Bialaschik. Each of them has shared valuable advice and insights that have helped me grow as a creator and collaborator. This semester has been full of lessons that I’ll carry with me as I continue to build my career in marketing. Whether it’s creating impactful content, connecting with others, or pushing myself creatively, I’m excited to take these experiences and use them as a foundation for future growth.

A Year of Growth with Home From College This past year, I’ve had the privilege of being a part of Home From College an incredible platform designed to connect college students with top-tier brands. Through this experience, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing companies like Steve Madden Not Your Mother's Haircare, and more.

Each partnership has been a chance to learn, grow, and explore creative ways to engage audiences and bring brands’ visions to life. Being part of Home From College has shown me how much students can achieve when given the right opportunities and resources. I’m so grateful for the brands I’ve worked with, the connections I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned throughout this journey.
