Kayla Papakie

Skilled communicator | Analytical thinker | Project manager

Welcome to my online portfolio! My career in higher education marketing and communications spans roles within a dean's office, an academic medical center, alumni relations, and institutional advancement, reaching both internal and external constituents. Throughout my tenure, I've served as a strategic partner for up to 50 internal clients at a time, balancing their competing deadlines and varying needs.

Whether I'm working with a dean to create a case for support of their priorities, interviewing a faculty member to showcase their latest research, or curating the latest departmental news and events to share in an email newsletter, I act as a project manager from start to finish, working with in-house and external vendors to produce high-quality marketing and communications material.

My educational background intersects marketing, journalism, and public relations – a combination that I leverage to develop and execute research-driven strategies that align with institutional and departmental priorities.
