Brennan Carney is a 2022 cum laude Journalism graduate from Ithaca College. She also double minored in business analytics and audio production.
Prior to attending Ithaca College, Brennan went to Conestoga High School in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia provided her access to numerous events in the city of Philadelphia. Throughout middle and high school, she took bass, guitar, and piano lessons for 9 years at a music school, was involved with volunteer and music clubs in school, and was a National Art Honor Society member.
At Ithaca College, she studied at the prestigious Roy H Park School of Communications. She worked on audio and film projects, music school events, and several multimedia stories. She also produced many journalistic pieces, from a profile on a local donut shop to an investigative story about IC’s dining services, and even a documentary about LGBTQ students during covid. She was the "Ministry of Cool" section editor and writer for Buzzsaw Magazine, a progressive publication that publishes "original creative journalism, commentary and satire that works to deconstruct society, pop culture, politics, college life and dominant Western beliefs."
In her hometown in PA, Brennan worked a digital marketing intern for the agency Bad Rhino. She created monthly social media content, drafted audits, wrote blogs and worked with clients to make social marketing that works for them. Clients she worked with included the Reybold Group, Insurance Trust for Delta Retirees, West Chester Film Festival, Marena, Bare Essentials, and Bates Haunted Attractions/Escape Rooms/Laser Tag/All That Rage.
She currently works as a Social Media Marketing Intern at Crowd Cow, where she organizes, creates and publishes its social media content. She loves having the ability to combine her passions for sustainability and transparency with social media and writing.
Brennan hopes to work as a writer in the big world of media. She is interested in music, food and arts, and thinks making connections between culture news and communities is critical to understanding society.
When she’s not writing, she loves to support local bands and restaurants in Philly, PA and New Jersey.
