~MEGAN~ Hi I’m Megan Juran and I’m a small town girl from Port Townsend, Washington. I am currently a junior at Washington State University studying Strategic Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations. I am also studying Business Administration as my minor. I am interested in Corporate Event planning, and my goal is to eventually work for Nordstrom Headquarters or a winery in California. My role on the team at Luxxe is the design content manager. I am really looking forward to learning about social media and how society connects with our company through our pages. Some short term goals for the company are getting our name out there, obtaining sponsors and getting clothing donations that will help start the company. Some long term goals of mine is to expand to other college campuses and eventually have men’s clothing as an option. There are many advantages in working with Luxxe because we are very flexible and are always available on line when needed. Me personally, I have some special skills that help make this company stronger such as, creative digital technology, photography, and knowing fashion trends. Through out my life my favorite quote has been, “everything happens for a reason.” I love this because it applies to every situation and it reminds people that life is always going forward.
~ADILENE~ Hello everyone my name is Adilene Aballi and I am the creative director and brand ambassador for Luxxe Boutique. I am a small town girl from Sunnyside, Washington who moved to Pullman to make her dreams come true. I am currently a senior here at Washington State University Majoring in Strategic Communications with a focus in Advertising and a minor in business.
I aspire to be a part of the advertising industry. Since I was younger I enjoyed watching commercials and looking at ads but would get upset with the lack of diversity in advertisements. I want to push companies to add more diversity to their campaigns and disapprove campaigns that can be offensive, racist or sexist.
Some of my best qualities include being a leader, outgoing and work with integrity. I enjoy taking the initiative and love to positively influence others. I am very easy going and can hold a conversation with just about anyone. When it comes to sticky situations I see both sides of the story and give my genuine honest advice.
It is an honor to work with me because I am a very creative, reliable and hardworking person. I love to help out and enjoy making everything look nicer and better. I am a great problem solver; I have saved the day for many of my previous group projects. A life quote I live by is “Are you living or just existing.”
I am excited for this semester especially this class because I want to learn how to run a business and be successful at it.

I am a junior student at Washington State University intending to major in strategic communication with focus in public relations. Also, I plan to double minor in hospitality and business management (HBM) as well as digital technology and culture (DTC).

My role on the LUXXE Boutique team is as the social media and analytics manager, which means I develop the content that appears on our Instagram and Facebook pages along with running Google analytics on our primary website. I am looking forward to mastering how to manage an effective social media profile for a business related purpose. Also, I have never worked with website analytics before and am looking forward to learning. I consider myself very outgoing and compassionate in character. I'm also very hardworking and goal-oriented, which helps me thrive in a team environment. My skills include maneuvering through social media, working a variety of online programs (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc.), organization, and both online and in-person communication.
