Jada Pledger (she/her)

Why did you transfer to the University of Michigan?

I realized that the limited resources and opportunities at my previous institution were hindering my personal and professional growth. I craved an environment that would challenge and inspire me, offering a wider range of academic and extracurricular resources aligned with my career aspirations. Transferring to an institution with a more diverse array of programs and support systems would not only enhance my educational experience but also provide me with the tools, networks, and opportunities necessary to fully realize my potential and achieve my long-term goals.

What are your career plans for the future?

Growing up in the performing arts shaped my passion for the entertainment industry, and living in New York City’s vibrant theatre scene solidified my desire to contribute to bringing shows to life. I’m eager to work in PR, promoting brand awareness to high-profile clients in entertainment, and aim to combine my love for travel by pursuing opportunities that allow me to do both globally.

What are your hobbies?

Photography, creating mood boards, watching fashion documentaries, roller skating, and going to live-shows (plays, orchestras, concerts, etc.)
