Hi there! My name is Meredith Hetzer. Welcome to my digital portfolio.

I'm a growing communications professional based in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. A majority of my professional background is in social media strategy and content creation. I also have experience in developing external communications (e.g., blog posts, newsletters, event signage), building strategic communications plans, and planning and managing free community events. 

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2024, where I studied both psychology and journalism, advertising and media studies (advertising/public relations concentration). I’m currently pursuing a master’s in communication from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and expect to graduate in December 2026.​

I designed and updated digital marketing materials for Milwaukee Bastille Days in 2025, primarily using Canva and Adobe Illustrator. The assets were posted on the organization’s social media pages and on its website. Additionally, I developed a year-round social media strategy and created accompanying content for the Bastille Days Facebook page from January 2024 to December 2025.
