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 graduated this May with a B.S. in Public Relations and a minor in Business. I was a proud member of the Fall 2024 Texas Media & Analytics cohort. My coursework has provided me with a solid foundation in public relations, strategic communication, digital metrics, integrated communication management, campaign strategy, 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 an Editorial Assistant, Digital Intern, Director of Public Relations, and Social Media Manager have provided me with first-hand experiences 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. 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 foodstagram account!
