GRACIE'S GLAM CORNER
About Me
My name is Gracie Hardy, a senior at Arizona State University pursuing a Masters of Science in Digital Audiences. I have a background in Journalism and Mass Communications and Criminal Justice.
From a young age, I've been captivated by the beauty world, inspired by beauty gurus on YouTube and the amazing campaigns created by various beauty companies. Beauty, to me, is enhancing individuality with a canvas of colors that tells unique stories on each face.
My career goal is to work as a Chief Marketing Officer or Executive Brand Manager in the beauty industry. With experience in strategic communications and PR, combined with my dedication to learning through my accelerated Master's program, I am a versatile professional with a strong passion for beauty.
Beyond makeup, I enjoy expressing my creativity through poetry and have experience as a babysitter, nurturing the playfulness of children.
Four different internships
At Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite school, students have the opportunity to participate in internship interview day. I attended my first interview day in the spring of 2022 and was offered a position at AZ Big Media as a columnist editor for the summer. While there, I focused on scouting venues for bachelorette parties and chic luxury sit-down restaurants.
My second internship was with Destination I Do, where I worked as an editorial intern. Leveraging my extensive knowledge in UX/UI, I contributed to the back end of the website and also wrote real wedding stories. Enjoying my time there, I extended my internship for an additional semester.
The third internship was at SparkPoint Studios, where I worked as a publicist intern, creating media lists, Instagram posts, and tracking media coverage.
Finally, I landed a role at Pure Imaginations PR as a beauty intern. This internship was especially exciting for me, as it allowed me to enter the beauty industry, which is my true passion.
