I\u2019m Emi\u00adly Sharkis, a May 2025 grad\u00adu\u00adate from the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Con\u00adnecti\u00adcut with a Bach\u00ade\u00adlor\u2019s degree in a Jour\u00adnal\u00adism and Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion with a minor in Wom\u00aden\u2019s, Gen\u00adder, & Sex\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty stud\u00adies. I am a pas\u00adsion\u00adate sto\u00adry\u00adteller with expe\u00adri\u00adences in inter\u00adview\u00ading, copy edit\u00ading, copy\u00adwrit\u00ading, con\u00adtent cre\u00adation<\/a>, and social media management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have writ\u00adten for a pletho\u00adra of media out\u00adlets<\/a> such as Bookstr.com, the Dai\u00adly Cam\u00adpus, the UConn Jour\u00adnal\u00adism mag\u00ada\u00adzine, and Her Cam\u00adpus Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dur\u00ading my senior year of col\u00adlege, I served as Pres\u00adi\u00addent and Edi\u00adtor-in-Chief for Her Cam\u00adpus at UConn, an online pop cul\u00adture and lifestyle pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion. In this role, I led a team of more than 100 writ\u00aders, includ\u00ading a 14-per\u00adson exec\u00adu\u00adtive board. I planned week\u00adly meet\u00adings and pub\u00adlished up to 20 arti\u00adcles per week. I also served as Social Media Edi\u00adtor<\/a> of the Long Riv\u00ader Review<\/em>, UCon\u00adn\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00adary and arts magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pop cul\u00adture obsessed, con\u00adstant\u00adly keep\u00ading my fin\u00adger on the pulse of new trends and audi\u00adence engage\u00adment tac\u00adtics. As a con\u00adtent cre\u00adator, I have been involved in all aspects of video pro\u00adduc\u00adtion from being on-screen tal\u00adent to edit\u00ading and upload\u00ading con\u00adtent. I also pro\u00adduce, co-host, and edit an inde\u00adpen\u00addent pop cul\u00adture pod\u00adcast<\/a> called Girl Talk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am open to a mul\u00adti\u00adtude of roles and hope to com\u00adbine my love for writ\u00ading, pro\u00adduc\u00ading mul\u00adti\u00adme\u00addia con\u00adtent, and social media man\u00adage\u00adment. Out\u00adside of media, I can be found inside a movie the\u00adatre, advo\u00adcat\u00ading for men\u00adtal health, or dis\u00adcussing inter\u00adsec\u00adtion\u00adal feminism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
