Name: Alison Taplin
Year: Sophomore
Major: Marketing
Involvement on campus: Right now I am the Social Media director for HCLMU. I also work at the Children’s Center on campus and just got into the M-School!
What made you want to join her campus? I joined Her Campus because I was involved in journalism in high school and I thought it would be the perfect way to continue writing fun articles and meet new people on campus.
What are you most excited for as the incoming president of HCLMU? I am excited for so many things, but most of all I am hoping to raise our presence on campus through hosting fun events.
What do you wish everyone at LMU knew about HCLMU? I would like people to know that Her Campus at LMU is so much more than just writing articles. Joining Her Campus is becoming part of a network of college women around the country. That sounds like an ad but its true! HC involves everything from marketing and social media to journalism and politics and fashion/beauty.
Favorite article you ever wrote: Freshmen year as told by Lizzie McGuire was my first fun article so I will always like that one, but I also like my two editions of insta-worthy murals around Los Angeles.
Dream vacation: Ever since the Kardashians went to Bora Bora for their annual summer family vacation, I have wanted to go there and stay in one of those huts in the middle of the ocean.
Fave musician: I will always love Taylor Swift, but I also like Lorde and solo Harry Styles has been a favorite recently.
What do you want to be when you grow up:Great question haha I’m still trying to figure that out!! Being Social Media Director has made me want to continue doing that in the future so I guess my dream job right now would be doing social media marketing for either a fashion brand or a lifestyle magazine. But who knows what I’ll actually end up doing.
