Hello,
(she, her, hers)
For four years, 2,804 miles separated my hometown of Syracuse, New York and Eugene, Oregon. At the University of Oregon, you could find me running around as #14 on Papé Field for the Division I women’s lacrosse team. I kept myself busy off the field as a double major in advertising and public relations with a minor in English. In my fourth year at the University of Oregon, I completed my Master's Degree in Advertising and Brand Responsibility (MABR) while working for their renowned athletic department.
In my professional career, I hope to continue to build my skills and techniques to produce works that influence positive change. I believe my soft skills, adaptability and ability to empathize with others contribute to my team-oriented mentality and leadership qualities.
WHERE I’M FROM…
An original poem by Haileigh Farrell
I am from Bauer Hockey Skates, from smelly jerseys and screaming parents.
I am from icy air and snow squalls. I am from the outdoor rink a cozy hot cocoa one that warms your heart frost-bitten leaving Clinton Square.
I’m from justice and freedom, from bravery and courage. I’m from the Underground Railroad and the Jerry Rescue, from strangers saving strangers.
I’m from the Seneca Falls Convention with liberty for all. I’m from the Adirondacks and the Finger Lakes, yellow and orange leaves.
From the war my grandfather was shot in, after coming from Sicily, the Carrier Dome acting as his Statue of Liberty.
Hung on my wall are 4x6 photos showing the afternoon sunset, fried dough and lemonade the smell of grease.
I am from those carefree moments - Running at the New York State Fair. Smiling, laughing, reminiscing.
