Hey there!

I'm Emily McCarthy, a student and experienced strategic communicator. Currently, I am a senior at American University pursuing a double major in Political Science and Public Relations & Strategic Communications.

Working my way through college I have worked in a wide variety of fields including but not limited to construction, customer service, education, non-profit, and public relations.

I'm skilled in SEO, PR writing, crisis communication, and digital marketing tools like Adobe Illustrator and MuckRack. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn and grow within the field of communications and beyond!

More About Me

  • I was born and raised in San Francisco, California where I intend on living post-college. Growing up in California fostered my love for nature, specifically, redwood trees and sunflowers.

  • When I am not working I love to go on long walks/hikes, bake gluten free treats, and curating my Letterboxd account. I also love to sew but since moving away from my sewing machine I have tried to take up knitting/crocheting.

    1. My favorite movie is Napoleon Dynamite and I have seen it at least 30 times.

    2. My go to morning coffee is an extra foamy Cortado with oat milk.

    3. I moved to college and my dad turned my childhood room into a Chinchilla habitat.
