INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 31, 2022—Photographer. Videographer. Podcaster. Social Media Manager. To most, that may sound like four different positions, but for Lacey Smith, those four roles are daily ‘hats’ she puts on to fulfill her role as the Media Production and Marketing Intern in the Office of Student Employment.
Senior communications student, Lacey Smith, was originally hired to run the front desk at the office, but her interest in social media and skills with design were soon discovered and put to good use once there was an opening.
“It turns out that the guy that had my position beforehand recommended that I take it, so it kind of just got it handed to me,” Smith said.
Her responsibilities include running social media accounts, taking headshots, filming video projects as needed, and hosting and editing the OSE Learning and Earning podcast.
“Doing the podcast has really shown me that I love podcasting and I love editing and recording them,” Smith said. "I wouldn't mind branching out and doing something like that in my future — not hosting one, I already have a personal one, but just working with other people to produce theirs would be really cool.”
