Nina Lupinacci
Welcome to my portfolio! I’m Nina Lupinacci, a recent graduate from Elon University, originally from Greenwich, Connecticut. I hold a degree in Strategic Communications with a minor in Multimedia Authoring. Last fall, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in Elon’s Study USA: Los Angeles program, where I interned at a music publicity firm as a Music Publicity and Social Media Intern. This experience has fueled my passion and steered me towards a career in public relations. ​ When I’m not immersed in my work, you’ll likely find me at a concert, indulging my love for music, or exploring the great outdoors through hiking.
