Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rebecca Elia, a Master of Science candidate at USI, merging communication, economics, marketing, and the transformative economy to understand how brands connect with people. My research and projects explore the impact of AI tools on consumers’ perceived credibility of advertising, with a focus on ad liking and brand liking. I’m excited to apply this interdisciplinary lens to real-world challenges in media, marketing, and digital experiences.
Beyond academics, I actively contribute to student life and events, work on digital marketing and VR experiences, and enjoy helping communities grow through inclusive, creative collaboration.
