Aimee Jewell

Aimee Jewell is a 2013 graduate of the University of Louisville.  She earned a BS in Communications and a Minor in English. She is currently Assistant Event Coordinator at the Louisville Palace/Mercury Ballroom, Event Coordinator at Camp Hi Ho, and blogger for Louisville.com.  She writes, “Currently, I work part-time at the Louisville Palace, where I am the Assistant Event Coordinator. I help facilitate weddings and events, while balancing two other jobs and graduate school. At Camp Hi Ho, I schedule, staff, and coordinate all events, and finally, I blog for Louisville.com.”

Aimee aspires to help adults with professional and leadership development.

Regarding her A&S education she says, “My A&S career taught me many valuable lessons both inside and outside the classroom. I greatly enjoyed the numerous internships I had while earning my Bachelors of Science Degree, and I learned how to implement my classroom lessons into my everyday work life. I also learned how to identify and handle different communication styles in a workplace setting, and about myself as a communicator and as a leader. The professors really allow you to flourish as a student, while encouraging you to get involved on campus and in the community.”
