RHIJU CHAKRABORTY
An Unconventional Thinker.
An Unconventional Leader.
Hey there!
I’m Rhiju, a junior at the University of Michigan passionate about using storytelling to support strategic campaigns across public and privately traded companies. I’ve worked across healthcare, nonprofit arts, and academic spaces, supporting leading pharma clients and institutions in the process.
My work (and interest) spans both the creative and operational sides of communications. From graphic design, copywriting, and media relations to marketing logistics and media planning. What sets me apart is my curiosity. I love digging into the details of a client’s business, and learning the technical side of their offering and products, and leveraging that knowledge to tell stories that are engaging, and boost brand awareness.
WORD ON THE STREET
Students like Rhiju are what motivate me to continue to teach and bring all the expertise and passion I can to every class.
