Elhadji "L" Diop
As a Junior at Rice University who is studying Sports Management, Managerial Studies, and Kinesiology, I have developed practical skills in event management, branding, sales, and media relations. I have been able to use my education to use in my internships with Red Bull and Major League Soccer where I enhanced the event experience for over 75,000 guests. I have also worked with the Houston Rodeo in their communications department in editing and developing content that was utilized in their website and application that traffics millions of views. Currently, I am working under Rice's Public Affairs Office as a marketing intern where I develop creative briefs, campaigns, and run social media pages for the university. I have also launched the rapidly growing Students of Rice University page which features the authentic and unfiltered stories of Rice Students (@riceustudents).
My passion is brand marketing and management, and thus I am looking for opportunities to learn and network with individuals in this field.
I am currently developing my photography portfolio and my skill set in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and InDesign. I will have my work displayed for RAWartists (an organization across 60 cities on 3 continents) for over 2,000 guests.
I have launched an online clothing brand (Penumbra Clothing) with a team of undergraduates across the US at top colleges such as University of Pennsylvania, Berkeley, and Rice with a budget of only $2000 dollars.
