Professional Summary

 

Digital media and marketing professional with emphasis in film & television production. Native Chicagoan and graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Career interests include travel/entertainment television production, documentary film production and social media.

 

Marlo's passion for travel sparked in 2006 when she backpacked throughout Europe - Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France - as a U.S. Student Ambassador. It was that summer when she was bit by the Travel Bug. Since then, she has traveled across five continents and over 15 countries, including the semester she studied and lived in Rome, Italy. Countless cultural experiences have advanced her interest in digital storytelling through blogs, documentaries and photography.

 

She dove into social media while managing the public relations and advertising for her sorority, a group of girls and a philanthropic cause that she grew to passionately love. Social media is one of her growing interests as the opportunities to learn more continue to expand.

 

An enthusiastic, ambitious and hard working risk taker, Marlo has great big goals ahead of her. She is open to many different opportunities in the digital media field and excited to try her hand in various positions along her journey.
