I’m Emi­ly Sharkis, a May 2025 grad­u­ate from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut with a Bach­e­lor’s degree in a Jour­nal­ism and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion with a minor in Wom­en’s, Gen­der, & Sex­u­al­i­ty stud­ies. I am a pas­sion­ate sto­ry­teller with expe­ri­ences in inter­view­ing, copy edit­ing, copy­writ­ing, con­tent cre­ation, and social media management.

I have writ­ten for a pletho­ra of media out­lets such as Bookstr.com, the Dai­ly Cam­pus, the UConn Jour­nal­ism mag­a­zine, and Her Cam­pus Media.

Dur­ing my senior year of col­lege, I served as Pres­i­dent and Edi­tor-in-Chief for Her Cam­pus at UConn, an online pop cul­ture and lifestyle pub­li­ca­tion. In this role, I led a team of more than 100 writ­ers, includ­ing a 14-per­son exec­u­tive board. I planned week­ly meet­ings and pub­lished up to 20 arti­cles per week. I also served as Social Media Edi­tor of the Long Riv­er Review, UCon­n’s lit­er­ary and arts magazine.

I am pop cul­ture obsessed, con­stant­ly keep­ing my fin­ger on the pulse of new trends and audi­ence engage­ment tac­tics. As a con­tent cre­ator, I have been involved in all aspects of video pro­duc­tion from being on-screen tal­ent to edit­ing and upload­ing con­tent. I also pro­duce, co-host, and edit an inde­pen­dent pop cul­ture pod­cast called Girl Talk.

I am open to a mul­ti­tude of roles and hope to com­bine my love for writ­ing, pro­duc­ing mul­ti­me­dia con­tent, and social media man­age­ment. Out­side of media, I can be found inside a movie the­atre, advo­cat­ing for men­tal health, or dis­cussing inter­sec­tion­al feminism.
