LIZA MICKENS

​

​

At a young age, I began speaking publicly on behalf of my great, great-grandmother Maggie Lena Walker. Her prominent legacy in Richmond, VA gave me experience early in communications and offered me the opportunity to connect with people through her story.

​

In May 2019 I graduated from James Madison University where I studied Communications and Public Relations. During my time I served the Office of Admissions as a Student Ambassador offering tours to prospective students and their families. I also spent my Spring 2018 semester in London, England where I completed class credit and an internship in fashion public relations with Wingfield PR. 

​

​

 

Professionally, I interned at NBC 12 & CW Richmond, where I used my skills to assist the news and marketing departments. I have interned at Wingfield PR in London and PR Consulting in New York, two prominent fashion PR agencies that offered valuable insight into the world of fashion.
