MERRITT

NORRIS

Hi my name is Merritt! Originally from Houston, Texas, I have truly fallen in love with the city of Austin while attending The University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in Public Relations, minoring in Business, and on track to graduate May 2025. I am a member of the Fall 2024 Texas Media & Analytics cohort. My coursework has provided me with a solid foundation in public relations, strategic communication efforts, digital metrics, integrated communication management, campaign strategizing, and more! I have a passion for multimedia brand storytelling with a foundation in data-driven strategy.

My fondness for connecting with people allows me to gain diverse perspectives and make genuine connections anywhere I roam. I'm always looking for unique ways to capture the world around me, whether it's digitally or through writing. My experiences as a Digital Intern, Director of Public Relations, and Social Media Manager have provided me with first-hand experience in the communications industry. As a highly driven individual, I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge while maintaining meticulous attention to detail and staying organized in everything I do (my planner is my best friend). In my free time, I love spending time with my friends, walking the trail at Lady Bird Lake, or trying new restaurants to feature on my new foodie Instagram account!
