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, and led the full social media rebrand of The Daily Scroll, developing new layouts, video series and engagement strategies that strengthened the O’Colly’s digital presence and expanded audience reach.

• Led an independent social media campaign during my time 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.
