Advertising
“As an advertising student, I often think about my prospective role in the advertising industry. Advertising's power to influence has the opportunity to enable meaningful change and has been the focus of my work during my studies. In my projects, I navigate the relationship between advertising and social change, considering methods of bridging campaigns with action. ”
