Hey! I'm Destanee

Skills in marketing, social media strategy, public relations, project management and event coordination with a strong background in agriculture, media (news), education, food, nonprofits, sports (hockey, baseball, softball) and companion animal care.

Experience in collaborating with teams on event promotion both internally and externally, participant management systems, brand marketing and copywriting, public relations, material oversight and post-event coverage and reflection. Due to experience working various events with different organizations allows for my ability to develop and coordinate events tailored to the needs of the client’s goals and objectives.

University of Minnesota

Currently pursing a B.A in English and Strategic Communications: Advertising & Public Relations with a Sports Coaching Certificate, in the pre-licensing program DirecTrack to Teaching with an anticipated graduation of May 2026.

Well attending the University of Minnesota, I was elected to be on the 2024 Homecoming Court during my junior year. The experience on the Homecoming Court allowed me to not only connect with new people but deepened by appreciation for the University through giving back to my community, networking with alumni and engaging with a variety of events.

Study Abroad: Leadership & Social Change in Ireland

During winter break of my junior year in college, from December 2024 to January 2025 I studied abroad through the University of Minnesota's leadership minor program. The program was called Leadership & Social Change in Ireland where I visited cities in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Through this opportunity I was able to learn about different historical and political events while visiting Trinity College in Dublin and Queens University in Belfast. The program predominately focused on the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland, the complex relationship between Ireland and the United Kingdom, the two major parties in Northern Ireland, The Brexit, segregation and conflict between Catholics and Protestants and more.

First full day in Dublin, Ireland.

After a morning of class hosted at Queens University.

As a member, I attended the 2023 conference in Minneapolis, MN and the 2024 conference in Philadelphia, PA. Additionally, I served as one of two Student Directors that sat on the board in which I aided in annual programming and conference planning for the 2025 conference in Fullerton, CA.
