Ophelia Brown

I am a recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Public Relations (Pre-Law) and a Minor in Business. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a robust skill set in public relations, marketing, event planning, and community engagement. My diverse experiences range from internships at renowned agencies to leadership roles in various student organizations.

At The University of Texas at Austin, I was deeply involved in enhancing the campus community through my roles in organizations such as the Black Student Alliance, Fearless Leadership Institute, and the African American Culture Committee. These positions allowed me to hone my skills in publicity, marketing, and strategic communication, while also fostering a more inclusive and vibrant campus environment.

I have a proven track record of successfully managing and promoting events, demonstrated through my work with Hookd Magazine, Glaze Magazine, Texas Black Homecoming, and Springfest. My experience includes developing and executing marketing plans, coordinating event logistics, and collaborating with teams to create engaging and impactful programs.

My professional experience includes internships at DDO Agency, Easy Fan, and Scoot Education, where I gained hands-on experience in marketing coordination, talent management, and educational settings. I also have a strong background in administrative support and customer service, as evidenced by my roles at Fidelity National Title Group, the University of Texas Club, and the College of Computer Science Office of External Affairs.

As a University Leadership Network Scholar and UT For Me Dell-Scholar, I am committed to leadership and academic excellence. My achievements, such as winning the 2021 Miss Aspirations Scholarship Pageant and being named the 2021 Ultimate Debutante, reflect my dedication to personal and professional growth.

I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute to a dynamic team in the field of public relations, marketing, or event management. I am passionate about creating meaningful connections and impactful communication strategies that drive engagement and foster community.
