Passion for People | Aspiring Sports Marketing Specialist
I am a Strategic Communications student passionate about storytelling, branding, and building meaningful connections through marketing and public relations. With experience in event planning, social media, and leadership, I bring a creative and people-focused approach to every project.
Hey there, I am Margaux! I am currently a junior at Texas Christian University majoring in Strategic Communications with a double minor in Spanish and Digital Cultures & Data Analytics with a focus on public relations, advertising, and marketing. I have always been passionate about connecting with people and sharing stories that inspire action, which led me to pursue a career in the marketing and communications field.
During my time at TCU, I have been involved in organizations that have shaped me as a leader and communicator, including my sorority, Chi Omega, and the Chancellor’s Leadership Program. I have also had the privilege of serving on the executive boards of both the Alpha Delta chapter of Order of Omega and Special Olympics, where I have strengthened my leadership, organizational, and event-planning skills. While this is not comprehensive of all of my involvement, these are some of the organizations that have allowed me to grow personally and professionally while making a meaningful impact within my campus community.
My goal is to work in sports marketing or brand strategy, combining my love for athletics and storytelling to create meaningful connections between brands and their audiences. I am passionate about using marketing to bring people together and inspire growth. Beyond academics and leadership, I value creativity, faith, and community — principles that shape how I approach my work, build relationships, and contribute to the organizations I am part of.
