About Me

Hi, I'm Talia.

I'm drawn to the stories that might otherwise go unheard, because there's nothing better than knowing someone feels seen and understood. There's something special about an ad that stays with you long after it's ended, not because of what it sold, but because of how it made you feel. That kind of storytelling is what first sparked my interest in PR and advertising. I've always been a people person, and I enjoy finding ways to connect with others, whether that's through a creative idea or getting to know guests through my part-time work as a server. Outside of work and school, I like slowing down with a walk, hitting the gym, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

At Georgia College & State University, I'm double majoring in Mass Communication and World Languages & Cultures, with concentrations in Strategic Communications and Spanish, and will graduate in May 2027. I got my start in the newsroom as a GC360 multimedia reporter, scripting, filming, and editing broadcast packages, before moving into marketing at Peach Roots PR, where I designed graphics, built email campaigns, and helped run regional food festivals. This past summer, I took my work abroad as a marketing and communications intern at El Taller de Clo in Valencia, Spain, creating social videos and using my Spanish to adapt marketing materials for a local audience. I also serve as president of PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America) and Sigma Delta Pi (National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society), where I bring people together and create opportunities for connection and growth. I'm excited to bring my experience in storytelling, leadership, and cross-cultural communication to an entry-level Advertising Coordinator position, contributing fresh ideas and creative content to a collaborative team.
