Strengthening NGRREC’s Digital Presence

As a communications intern with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC), I helped elevate the organization’s online visibility and public engagement. I managed content for NGRREC’s Instagram, creating posts that highlighted interns’ research, conservation efforts, and daily field experiences.

I also produced a feature video showcasing the impact of NGRREC’s internship program and its contributions to freshwater sustainability. Through strategic storytelling and consistent posting, our team tripled NGRREC’s Instagram following over three semesters, greatly expanding audience reach and engagement.

This experience strengthened my ability to merge creative communication with measurable results, using storytelling to connect people with science and inspire environmental stewardship.
