Elizabeth Salathe
PR & Marketing Professional/ Event Coordinator/ Photographer/ Blogger
Welcome!
I am a young professional and a born storyteller with a passion for communication, a journey that began with a typewriter at the age of ten, and a love for cameras.
I proudly graduated in June 2021 from the University of Oregon with a B.S. in Communication & Journalism. Since then, I've thrived in roles such as Assistant Account Executive at WE Communications, where I worked with Microsoft, Special Events Production Assistant at WEST COAST BACH, and Event Coordinator at Steve LeVine Entertainment & PR. Currently, I serve as the Content/Event Coordinator at Capital Fund I, leading media production, management, and creation, alongside event planning, execution, and sponsorship on the marketing team.
Outside of work and my hobbies, you can find me enjoying a spicy drink, listening to a juicy podcast, exploring and getting lost (in a good way), chismeando con mis amigos y familia, or snuggling with my boyfriend and our two cats. What truly brings me joy is creative writing, deep conversations, and spending quality time with my family.
Growing up along the Oregon and California coast left me captivated by the beauty of the West Coast and everything it stands for. This upbringing gave me a keen eye for natural wonders and fostered a deep love for media creation and the outdoors.
As I approach each day, I embrace failures as stepping stones and strive for personal growth with a commitment to motivating others. I aim to use my experiences to spark creativity and work seamlessly on any project.
Interests
Exploring through Travel: I have an insatiable wanderlust, with a special love for Mexico and Europe, where I cherish family connections and seek new adventures.
Crafting Stories: Writing and storytelling are my creative outlets, and event planning is where my hospitality and customer service shine.
Industry Expertise: With a strong background in hospitality, events, fitness and communications, I bring a unique perspective to clients.
My Story.
Dream it.
Crafting compelling stories from personal experiences is something I've always loved—growing up reading the Magic Tree House series and choreographing skits with my siblings, I've always cherished the power of storytelling.
Build it.
Pursuing a path at the University of Oregon's Journalism School, I sought to learn effective reporting, writing, and communication. With a major in Public Relations and a minor in Sociology, I've found the perfect blend of expressing this passion, enabling me to grow as a writer and make further connections.
As a first-generation student, graduating was an extraordinary moment in my family, through working hard each day and continuing to learn personally and professionally.
Grow it.
I have learned the importance of a growth mindset and prevailing through life’s difficulties. To me, this means pursuing the best version of myself:
determined, inspired, and happy
As I collect new skills and discover new places and ideas, my years of experience grow. I am grateful to be where I am, but I await new adventures!
