She is a South Florida native and senior at Florida State University, where she is pursuing her B.S. in Marketing. In her free time, you can find her hanging out with friends and family, scrolling mindlessly on Tiktok, getting dressed up and trying new restaurants, or going for a calming night drive. When not in Tallahassee, Kiersten loves to travel (the airport is her favorite part of the trip!) or go to the beach for the sunrise.

Favorite class?

Aspirational goals?
It is my dream one day to work on the marketing/partnerships side of the NFL, either for a team or the league office in New York. A lot of people don’t see sports from a business perspective, they just think of the game, but it’s much more than that– it’s an entertainment business. Being able to combine my love for the game with my career would be the perfect world for me.
I first heard of Grova when I was at an FSU football game, and this ad from a client, T-Spark, started playing on the jumbotrons in Doak Campbell. My friends and I, along with everyone else in the stadium, were captivated by the production quality and message of the ad. Afterward, I did further research and decided this would be a great place for me to continue to nourish and develop my experience in the marketing industry!
Thank you to G and the team at Grova for this incredible internship opportunity! Transitioning from working at larger companies to a smaller, more tight-knit group has been amazing. I’m looking forward to learning and growing during my time here 🙂
