Intern Manager | Graphic Design & Social Media Lead
As a member of the UGA Ice Dawgs media team, I began as a Social Media Intern and have since grown into the role of Intern Manager, overseeing multiple intern teams while continuing to lead graphic design and social media efforts for the program.
My work focuses on producing high-quality digital content that enhances the Ice Dawgs’ brand and fan experience. This includes designing game-day graphics, managing social media strategy and execution, and capturing photo content during games and events. All assets are created with a strong emphasis on visual consistency, storytelling, and fan engagement across platforms.
On game days, I lead content execution across social channels, and remain responsible for posting, photography, and live coverage. I also capture and edit photo content, create in-the-moment graphics, and ensure timely posting before, during, and after games.
In my role as Intern Manager, I support training, task delegation, and communication across intern teams, helping maintain an efficient workflow in a fast-paced hockey environment while upholding brand standards and content quality.
Key responsibilities include:
Branded game-day graphics designed to promote matchups and support fan engagement across Ice Dawgs social platforms.
Countdown graphics posted leading up to the home opener to build anticipation and maintain momentum throughout the start of the season.
Post-game and schedule-forward graphics used to promote upcoming matchups and encourage continued fan engagement.
Specialty graphics created for the annual Pink in the Rink game, supporting awareness, fundraising, and themed fan engagement.
Miscellaneous graphics created to support storytelling throughout the season, including final score graphics, milestone achievements, special games, and other one-off moments.
Game-day and event photography capturing player action, fan experience, and behind-the-scenes moments.
My experience with UGA Hockey has been one of the most formative roles in my development as a digital media professional. Starting as a social media intern and growing into the role of Intern Manager has allowed me to strengthen both my creative and leadership skills while working in a fast-paced, live sports environment. Balancing graphic design, social media, photography, and team management has taught me how to stay adaptable, communicate clearly, and lead under pressure. This role has reinforced my passion for sports media and my ability to deliver consistent, high-quality content while managing multiple responsibilities at once.
