Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC)

 

Pre- and post-production internship at WRBL News 3, marketing internship with EH Automotive Group, and studied at the University of Edinburgh in Summer 2024 with Georgia Tech professors through the Scotland Study Abroad program.

 

What I love most about my major is the creative freedom it gives me to express myself. I especially enjoy my video production classes, where I’ve had the chance to create both individual and group short films. Having access to LMCFilms' equipment has been an incredible resource, allowing me to experiment with different styles of storytelling while building real hands-on skills. LMCFilms has even provided me with opportunities to work on gigs both on and off campus. Overall, my major challenges me to think critically, collaborate effectively, and most importantly, bring my ideas to life.

 

I love being able to learn through a creative and artistic lens while focusing on science and technology. This combination of education and expression is unique, as many universities don’t offer this same liberal arts approach. It not only deepens my understanding of both fields but also prepares me for the real world by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability. This experience promotes growth in various aspects, allowing me to thrive in diverse environments and tackle challenges from multiple perspectives.

 

I’m part of the costumes department at our student-run theater, DramaTech Theatre. I perform with the hip hop dance club Tekstyles, and I’m also involved in the Chinese Student Association.

 

This semester, I’m interning at NASA on the Spacesuit Knowledge Capture and Strategic Communications team. This past year, I also completed my second co-op rotation in Los Angeles with Apple as a Podcasts Editorial Intern. I worked on campaigns for Apple Podcasts such as Earth Day, AAPIHM, Juneteenth, and Summer Listens, curating podcast collections for the storefront and learning about the podcasting industry from the inside. On campus, I work as a student assistant at the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology’s Institute for Materials and Systems (IMS) lab.

 

I really like how LMC is such a broad and customizable major. We get to choose two out of six threads, which allows each student to tailor the degree to their own interests. While I don’t have an exact plan yet for after graduation, I appreciate how versatile the major is—the communication and analytical skills I’ve gained are applicable to many different industries. As an LMC major, I have the freedom to explore all sorts of creative and technical interests.

 

I love that even as a liberal arts major, I still have the opportunity to explore STEM. Georgia Tech gives me access to a wide range of resources in both the humanities and technical fields. A lot of the LMC classes I take incorporate technology or data in really engaging ways—they're often more creative than traditional STEM courses. My technical background has even helped me stand out in creative roles, like at Apple, where data skills enhanced my editorial work. And where else could a liberal arts major like me intern at NASA and work in a nanotech lab?

I’m currently a building supervisor at Georgia Tech Campus Recreation and a marketing intern at Growth By Design. I also studied abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland in Summer 2023 and had the best time exploring the city, taking classes, and traveling across the UK on weekends!

 

I love the flexibility and creative freedom my major gives me. There are so many classes I can take that are creatively challenging in different ways but also teach me hard skills in various fields. The people in my classes are also so brilliant and have great ideas!

 

I love how vast the knowledge of liberal arts students at Georgia Tech is. Conversations with other majors are a great way to learn more about a topic and make new friends.
