ISABELLA MAXEY
MAJOR : BUSINESS COMMUNICATION HOMETOWN : BALTIMORE , MD
Self-proclaimed lover of all things creative , Baltimore-based Filipina Isabella Maxey ‘ 21 took off into the life of a jet-setting marketing expert shortly after receiving her bachelor ’ s degree in Business Communication .
Isabella wore many hats while at Stevenson , a hallmark of her major : “ With Business Communication , some of the time you ’ re a journalist , other times you ’ re a graphic designer , and others you ’ re a PR representative . It ’ s having the choice to do whatever you want that made me really enjoy it ,” Isabella says .
Point proven : Isabella held multiple internships during her years at Stevenson to hone her skills in a variety of fields . She interned at Allied Global Marketing , a full-service integrated marketing agency , where she worked with numerous studios such as Netflix , Disney Pixar , Amazon , and Focus Features , as well as the esteemed public relations powerhouse Edie Brown and Associates , where she helped put on events such as Disney On Ice and Monster Truck Jam at the Baltimore Arena . Additionally , she interned with Cornerstone Community Housing and Whiting-Turner Contracting concurrently .
Outside of the grind of internships , the daily responsibilities of serving as a Resident Assistant on campus , and being part of the first Leadership Scholar ’ s cohort , Isabella enjoyed volunteering , roller skating , and writing and publishing original music in her free time . A week after graduating from Stevenson , Isabella was hired as the Community Marketing Coordinator at Resonate Recordings , a podcast production company . She has created podcasts for companies such as Twitter and Colgate that have hit the number-one spot on streaming platforms , and she also manages marketing campaigns , designs promotional materials , oversees social media , and is flown out to different states and countries to represent the company as a video personality — from Louisville , Ky . to London , England .
“ Business Communication was a broad major that wasn ’ t offered anywhere else and gave me a lot of wiggle room to decide what it is I wanted to do . The communication skills I have found from the department at Stevenson are invaluable . I would not have had such an interpersonal opportunity to get to know my professors and engage with a closer community at a much bigger school .”
