Brand Marketing Intern · Boston, MA · May 2026 – Present

The Internship

I joined Baggallini, a lifestyle handbag and travel brand under RG Barry Brands, as a Brand Marketing Intern. Alongside AI visibility research, I support the broader brand team across campaigns, photoshoots, paid social copy, and product launches — working closely with marketing and creative to bring new product stories to life.

  • Supported brand campaigns and product launch rollouts in collaboration with the creative team.
  • Contributed to on-set photoshoot production and paid social copywriting.
  • Worked cross-functionally with marketing to align messaging across channels.

The AI Visibility Project

My core project, Building Baggallini's AI Search Advantage, focused on how the brand shows up in an AI-driven search landscape — researching visibility and discoverability across AI search and chat platforms, benchmarking against competitors, and translating findings into content recommendations for the product and marketing teams.

Using tools like AthenaHQ alongside traditional competitive research, I worked through the full arc from baseline to growth — identity, opportunity, translation, hypothesis, and strategy — to help the brand move from known to recommended.

Community service has shaped me as much as any internship. In 2017, I joined the choir at my parish, St. Agnes Church in Key Biscayne — it started with eight girls, and I helped grow it to a choir that now fills the church to capacity every week.
