LEarn about me

I'm Kylie Tutterrow, a Clemson University student majoring in Political Science and Communication with a strategic emphasis, driven by a passion for impactful storytelling and meaningful engagement. With a 3.88 GPA, I'm combining academic rigor with real-world experiences to build a foundation for a career in public relations, media, and policy advocacy.

As a Brand and Marketing Intern at The Children’s Museum of the Upstate, I honed my graphic design, social media, and media relations skills, contributing to community engagement initiatives that made a real difference. Through my leadership roles at The Tiger, Clemson’s student newspaper, I’ve mastered AP style, editing, and managing a team of writers, all while producing compelling content on deadline. Whether serving guests as a shift lead at The Esso Club or managing writers in a newsroom, I’ve developed strong interpersonal skills and the ability to lead in fast-paced, dynamic environments.

I’m eager to connect with professionals and organizations focused on impactful communication, policy advocacy, and community engagement. Let’s work together to tell stories that inspire action and drive change!
