SL: Behind the Brand
Our content here at Seawolf Living is for students, by students! But have you ever wondered who those students ARE? We have 9 wonderful student content creators who help support our brand in different ways. Meet our team through some questions, and learn a little bit more about what they do here. Let’s dive Behind the Brand with Seawolf Living!
Meet Samantha!
Name: Samantha Warren
Role at Seawolf Living: At Seawolf Living, I am the Social Media Marketing Content and Analytics Coordinator! I am in charge of posting on Instagram and Facebook, posting posts and stories for both. I am also in charge of Be Real, Fizz, and I started our Pinterest account! I also do all of the social media analytics for each platform and post.
Your dream career: My dream career is in the Business Marketing realm, and I hope to work my way up to becoming a CEO!
Best study tip: Best study tip I can give is to make sure your environment you are studying in is clean. I feel that if my area is messy, then my head will also be messy. If you are struggling with motivation for studying, I definitely recommend studying with a friend, it always motivates me!
Comfort TV show/movie: Definitely Gilmore Girls, even if it is basic haha.
Biggest piece of advice: Do not be afraid to reach out to or talk to other students. Everyone is genuinely so nice, and I promise they are probably just as nervous as you!

Meet Krista!
Name: Krista Keith
Role at Seawolf Living: I help coordinate our student team in the office, and take the lead on some collaborative projects like SSU Things To Do as well as the Brandbassador Program! I also manage the marketing for our 13 departments by taking in new projects and organizing who tackles what. If you're ever wondering who is behind the SSU Housing or CES socials, that's me too! Some fun tasks I complete consist of posting the digital signage throughout campus, driving the LoboMobile to set out and put away foam signs, add and play music in the dining venues, and track sales data for those dining venues as well!

Best study tip: Do not study on your bed! Instead, find another place to study. Our brain will associate a certain area with an action and feeling (like “my bed is for sleep and relaxation”) SO instead, find a spot that is designated for studying!
Comfort TV show/movie: My comfort movie would HAVE to be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! I watch it every fall season.
Biggest piece of advice: GET INVOLVED! It was once I started getting involved here at SSU that I found my community and sense of belonging.
