Hi! I'm Kendall!
I am a marketing student at The University of Akron with hands-on experience in nonprofit development, fundraising, and event-based marketing. I care deeply about community, connection, and the kind of marketing that brings people together for something bigger than themselves. Through my work in nonprofit healthcare and my background in hospitality and wedding venue marketing, I’ve learned that the strongest strategies are built on relationships.
Where I’ve Gained Experience
My experience spans across nonprofit healthcare development & marketing, fundraising events, and hospitality marketing.
Oak Lodge Internship
Hospitality & Event Marketing
During my internship at Oak Lodge, an 800-acre resort and wedding venue, I gained hands-on experience in social media management, event promotion, and print marketing design. Supporting seasonal campaigns, spa promotions, and event materials strengthened my understanding of brand consistency and hospitality-driven marketing.
Today, I continue contributing to marketing efforts at Oak Lodge, supporting digital content, promotional campaigns, and brand communication across platforms.
The Oak Clinic Internship
Nonprofit Website Build, Development & Event Planning
In my nonprofit marketing and development role, I support fundraising campaigns, donor communications, and community-focused events. I contribute to marketing materials, assist in planning fundraising initiatives, and help strengthen the connection between mission and message. I have also been involved in building and refining website content to ensure clarity, usability, and alignment with the organization’s mission. Working in a healthcare nonprofit has deepened my understanding of relationship-driven strategy and purposeful communication.
