Hey! I’m Lamisha Rahman, a junior at Georgia State University, majoring in Media Entrepreneurship with a focus in Film, Journalism, and Business, and currently minoring in Computer Information Systems—though I’m contemplating a switch to either Entertainment Media Management or Film and Media. I have a myriad of interests, evidenced by my major changes and multiple minors. Admittedly, I’m the type who chose a minor just to extend my college experience by a semester so I wouldn’t have to graduate early. I’ve dabbled in various disciplines, spreading myself a bit thin, and it’s about time I channel my diverse skills into a more focused career path. While I love being a “jack of all trades”, I realize it’s time to hone in on a specific career trajectory, and that’s where this portfolio comes into play.
Navigating my academic journey feels like having all the ingredients for a dish but struggling to choose the right recipe. I’m inherently creative, finding joy in expressing myself through art, film, photography, and writing. I’ve been involved with student organizations such as Album88 and the Bangladesh Student Association at GSU and have also gained work experience as a Student Assistant and Art Teacher. Currently, I’m honing my skills as a PR Intern at BECK Media & Marketing, working with notable clients like BET+, PlutoTV, and TenderfootTV. In this role, I’ve cultivated people, writing, and organizational skills, playing a crucial role in guiding PR initiatives, crafting media pitches, managing interviews, and maintaining client relations.
Yet, despite the valuable experiences gained, I find myself at a crossroads. While I adore the entertainment and fashion industry, I’m grappling with the question of where I fit best—whether it’s in writing, management, content creation, or something else altogether. In the end, I would like to see myself in a creative space hopefully in a creative and stable role with a managing aspect
As for goals I need to set to move things in the direction of my future career, I know that I need to work on my networking skills, stay up to date with digital trends, and gain more hands-on experience through internships and freelance projects. My portfolio will serve as a reflection of this journey, a space to explore and present the digital artifacts that showcase my evolving skills and interests.
