Who is Khalah Morris? What makes her special? How is she unique?

Well, from the time I was born in the back seat of a Mustang flying through the Chicago city streets, I guess you could say I was special from that very moment. I was infatuated with animals my entire childhood, and was convinced I would grow up to be a veterinarian. Fast-forward a couple years (and a couple of science classes) and that thought quickly became just that... a thought.

After discovering my knack for writing in high school I decided to pursue a degree in Journalism at the best journalism school in the country. Then came the time to decide my emphasis area. My interest in culture and people quickly grew as a young, curious college mind. This led me to an emphasis in Strategic Communication–just a fancy phrase for advertising, marketing and PR. On May 16, 2014 I walked across the stage and joined what us J-School'ers call the Mizzou Mafia.

My intrinsic curiosity for the consumer mind has led me to explore the realm of strategy and account planning...and I’m stuck here! From research and planning to consumer insights, I’m all about media, marketing and advertising. I have experience in strategic planning, research, marketing and media planning/buying. Through my work in this industry I hope to promote diversity in ideation and help brands create long-lasting impressions in consumer's minds.
