Introduction

Hi! I’m Kinzie Pappan, a strategic communicator and digital storyteller passionate about creating content that connects. I recently graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in strategic communications and a concentration in social media. My goal is to build a career in social media management, where I can help brands grow digital communities rooted in creativity, authenticity and connection.

​

My Story

My love for storytelling began in Arkansas City, Kansas. Growing up, I spent many hours behind the camera and writing scripts in my notebook. Whether I was filming Barbie movies or putting on plays with my sisters, I was always creating, and I loved how our stories brought people together.

​

That early passion evolved into a professional drive. I started college at Cowley College as a liberal arts major, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and obtained my associate of arts degree. From there, I transferred to OSU and found the perfect place to sharpen my skills and pursue opportunities that helped me grow into the creator I am today. 

​

Experience & Impact

At OSU, I thrived by leading media projects that built community and drove engagement.

​

• Served as communications director for the Association for Women in Communications, leading social media strategies that increased platform interaction by 34% in the first three months.

• Produced visual content for local businesses and students as a video editor at the O’Colly, while collaborating on website development for Made in Oklahoma Market.

• Led an independent social media campaign during my internship with Summit Realty, resulting in a 27% increase in content interaction and follower engagement over six months.

What I Do Best

I specialize in turning visual content into stories that feel like moments worth sharing. My strengths include:

• Video production and editing

• Social media strategy and campaign development

• Visual design and brand storytelling

I thrive in environments that trust my creative process and encourage collaboration. I view every project as an opportunity to connect, challenge myself and grow as a digital storyteller.

​

Why I Create

What motivates me most is the opportunity to make people feel seen. I believe social media should do more than inform — it should invite people in. It should inspire, empower and build community. My goal is to combine brand strategy with human connection, crafting content that resonates and builds trust with audiences.

​

Let’s Connect

I’m now seeking a full-time role in social media management, where I can bring my passion for storytelling and strategy to a brand that values connection, creativity and community. Everyone has a story to tell — and I’d love to help share yours.
