About:

Hi! My name is Jill Shaughnessy. I am based in London and am originally from South Jersey/Philadelphia in the States. I hold a postgraduate degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science, earning a MSc in Politics and Communication. 

As a Senior Executive at Portland, I work across multiple corporate communication accounts in a variety of sectors, including retail, fashion, public policy, entertainment, and industry. I work on day-to-day execution like client admin, research, copywriting, monitoring, and strategic media relations. I am particularly interested in creative communications processes like social media drafting and new business. 

While studying at LSE and working at Portland Communications, I have amassed ample knowledge in creating campaigns, media and political theory, strategic communications, and social media. 

I am also graduate of Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania USA, where I earned a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Media and Communications. I have experience in both the journalism and political sectors. I also currently work part-time as a Resident Life Supervisor at Boston University in London. 

I wrote my Masters dissertation about the use of Instagram for self-representation and fashion for "the Squad" in US Congress. I am an ambitious, hard-working, and personable individual and I look forward to the next steps in my professional career.
