Giving Day Ole Miss

I’m thrilled to showcase my role as talent and co-producer for Mississippi’s flagship university’s largest academic fundraiser, Giving Day Ole Miss, in 2025 and 2026. In 2025, I was geeked to be the first host allowed an in-depth interview with the Ole Miss chancellor, highlighting my excitement for empowering narratives that elevate meaningful stories.

More importantly, I was able to hear the UM Development team's vision -- and later, from leader's of UM schools, colleges, and centers' -- before leveraging my keen sense of authentic storytelling. With the video and University MarCom team's help, we illustrated the "why" donors should give, "where" their money would go, "how" it transforms educational experiences, and "who" the movers and shakers at Ole Miss are. The last, an important step and opening the gates of the ivory tower (university) to the greater community it serves, eventually employs.
