Grace Badagliacca
Hi! I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California- until I decided to leave the sunny state for the frigid winters of Ann Arbor, Michigan (best decision I’ve ever made, GO BLUE). I am a current University of Michigan alumna, with a Bachelor of Science in Information and a focus on social media analysis and UX research + design.
I am especially interested in how businesses can incorporate digital solutions, from social media for customer engagement to artificial intelligence for efficiency, to benefit their client and consumer-centric strategies.
I am passionate about media & entertainment and the effects that digital transformation has on this industry as a whole. I am always open to discussing (or debating) the benefits of incorporating creative digital solutions into workspaces that may be reluctant to do so. I believe that technological, digital, and virtual integrations within all industries serve to benefit both clients and consumers while enabling employees to learn (and master) new skills that increase job satisfaction and productivity.
Aside from my academic and career pursuits, I am passionate about learning new creative skills. In my free time, you may find me reading non-fiction (some favorites include Malcolm Gladwell, Yuval Noah Harrari, and Mitch Albom), watching the cooking channel, or listening to true crime podcasts (favorite: My Favorite Murder).
I am happy to chat about my academic interests, random skills, favorite movies, and just about anything else!
