Walker Rose

I am a third-year Advertising and Public Relations student at UNC Chapel Hill, currently developing skills in strategic messaging, brand storytelling, and audience engagement through hands-on coursework and applied projects. I will be living in Manhattan, New York during Summer 2026 and am fully available for on-site opportunities. Before UNC, I graduated at the top of my high school class while balancing three varsity sports each year and serving in Student Council leadership roles. As a junior, I earned the role of football team captain, where I learned to communicate decisively under pressure and motivate others toward the shared goal of victory. Additionally, through customer-facing roles beginning at age 15, I developed confidence engaging diverse audiences and delivering polished, audience-targeted communication.

In Fall 2023, I studied abroad in Granada, Spain, focusing on Spanish and Global Studies, where I developed a global perspective on media, culture, and digital branding. After returning from Europe, I applied this burning passion like a science by managing and refining social media presences for a small group of friends and micro-influencers, helping shape more authentic and discoverable personal brands and improve commercial appeal through content strategy and audience targeting.
