Hi! I’m Nicole, a senior at UC Berkeley studying Media & Digital Studies with interests in marketing and communications.As a current marketing intern for startup accelerator/incubator Berkeley SkyDeck, I have had the privilege of crafting compelling copy, engaging social media content, and event programming for innovative startups in AI, blockchain, biotech, fintech, and more. I have a real passion for storytelling, and with my experience spanning marketing in entertainment, food & beverage, and supply chain, I am versatile in my marketing strategies.Working with such a diverse range of startups has introduced me to people from all walks of life, which has fueled my commitment to fostering inclusive environments. As someone who took a nontraditional route to college, transferring from a junior college to the number #1 public university in the world, I am also a proud advocate for underrepresented minorities breaking into business and higher education. I've used my roles in student government to champion this cause, both at my previous college and at Berkeley. It is from this mosaic of cultures and experiences that I credit my curiosity, creativity, and passion for learning and self-improvement.In my free time, I love puns, bingeing memoirs, classic fashion, and skiing. I'd love to connect at nicolehong@berkeley.edu.
