I’m Emilia Pashayeva, a May 2026 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin majoring in economics with a minor in journalism and media. I’m currently a marketing intern at Ketner Group Communications, where I work with retail technology clients to develop reports and audience insights that track performance across social, email and web. I also support account managers with research and media monitoring, which help inform strategic PR pitches and communications decisions.
I’m driven by curiosity and a strong interest in understanding how people, markets and technology interact. People often describe me as analytical and proactive, and I enjoy translating complex data into clear insights that can guide marketing strategies.
My passion for this field grew through both my academic and professional experiences. Economics taught me how to analyze consumer behavior and market trends, while journalism strengthened my ability to communicate insights clearly. Before joining Ketner Group, I worked as a communications strategist intern at VML MAP, where I supported CRM campaigns and built consumer profiles for Ford Motor Company.
