Welcome to SOC Ramblers in the Major Leagues, where we highlight various media, marketing, and communications careers in action. This month, we sat down for an interview with Julie West, an SOC Communication major who also serves as a producer of one of the school’s hit shows, Rambler Sports Locker (RSL). As a California native, the need to break out of her comfort zone and explore new frontiers drew her to accelerate her academic career in marketing and communication at Loyola University Chicago. “I knew that its proximity to large corporations would provide me with the most opportunities for internships and jobs post-graduation, while allowing me to learn from industry experts.”

SOC Alumna Strikes Gold in California

Gabrielle Zepeda, 2019 Loyola University Chicago alumna, is one of the many success stories of the School of Communication. She is a Public Relations and Events Associate at SevenRooms in San Francisco. SevenRooms is a guest experience and retention platform that helps hospitality operators create exceptional experiences that drive revenue and repeat business. Originally from San Diego, Zepeda said she wanted to return home following graduation to be closer to her family. Zepeda, 25, was hired by SevenRooms just two months after she graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising and Public Relations. Though Zepeda said Loyola helped prepare her for her career, she fondly remembers other things about her time here.
