My name is Julia Hallisey. I’m a senior at Sacred Heart University studying strategic communication, public relations and advertising.

About Me
My love for advertising and public relations started before I even knew what it was. Since then, it’s bloomed into a way to push myself to greater limits and create work that I’m proud of.
I’m currently based in Connecticut, but plan to move to New York City in June 2022.

When I was a child, I had an obsession with infomercials. There were no morning cartoons for me; I’d watch those hour-long programs, take notes, and persuade my parents to buy the product. It rarely worked, but a 10 year old gushing about the new Shark vacuum cleaner had to be pretty entertaining.

I enrolled in the School of Communication and Media Arts Sacred Heart University in fall 2018 because of their immersive and hands-on teaching styles. In my four years I’ve been able to shoot in television studios, pitch topics in a news room, and collaborate with other students to run two successful campus-wide campaigns.

My end goal is to find a mutual-fit with a company that I can grow with. I fell in love with New York (you can read why here) so ideally I’d like to end up there, but I love an adventure.
Public Relations
In my 2.5 years of intern experience along with my coursework, I have developed a multifaceted understanding for public relations. I have worked in the beauty/lifestyle, editorial, and retail industry.
Journalism
For the past two years, I have written for The Spectrum. First as a staff writer, then Assistant News Editor, and now Features Editor. As a head editor I lead an editing team as well as staff writers.
Campaigns
I’ve conducted numerous campaigns, both global and local. Most recently, I worked on Romer Skincare’s “Product Exhaustion” campaign that launched in airports around the country.
