Jillian Melendez

Student

I'm Jillian Melendez, many call me Jill, a senior undergraduate at the University of Delaware, delving into the infinite world of communication with a special focus on public relations. I have two minors in advertising and entrepreneurship. I'm a Connecticut native,
born and raised.

Right now, I'm immersed in an incredible internship with the "Beyond Beauty Project." It's a project close to my heart, allowing me to contribute to something that goes beyond conventional beauty standards, sharing empowering stories and rewriting beauty standard narratives.

Beyond the books and professional endeavors, my true passion lies in holistic well-being and yoga. I'm not just a student; I'm a enthusiastic advocate for the balance between mind and body. This passion extends beyond personal practice; I actively engage in projects and initiatives promoting positive mental health.

My mission? Changing the narrative around mental health. I want to raise awareness about the daily struggles individuals face and create an uplifting environment for everyone. Through my studies, internships, and personal projects, I'm crafting a story of change, compassion, and empowerment.

As I navigate the final stages of my undergraduate journey, the horizon is filled with possibilities. Driven by a passion for overall well-being and a instinct for effective communication, and a spirit geared towards positive change, I'm ready to make a lasting impact on the world however that may look.
