I’d share Vita Coco through the type of content I already love creating, like TikToks and Instagram Stories/Posts. I’m always filming little parts of my day, so it feels natural to make fun, genuine videos around campus. I want to do interactive content too, like “answer this question and win a Vita Coco,” or quick trivia and mini‑challenges where students can grab a free drink. It’s a fun way to get people involved and actually talk to the community instead of just handing out samples. At UMD, I’m connected to different groups that would help me reach a variety of students. I’m part of P.E.O., which started as a college sorority but is now a community‑based women’s organization. I’m also involved in the UMD MSA, and I’m planning to join Mu Delta Alpha once I’m on campus because their focus on community and academics really appeals to me. I’m also involved with SWENext. I also want to bring Vita Coco into places where people wouldn’t expect it. I volunteer with FIRST Chesapeake as a photographer and videographer, and the regional director has personally asked me multiple times to make TikTok videos about safety and how teams can sign up for qualifiers. I love working behind the camera, and I also mentor two all‑girls robotics teams who have a strong presence in the community. Robotics competitions bring in huge crowds of students, parents, volunteers, and judges. It’s not where you’d usually find a drink brand, but honestly Vita Coco would be perfect because everyone is exhausted and needs hydration. Another meaningful place is my Crohn’s/Colitis infusion center. The drink options there are usually limited and not very gut‑friendly, so bringing Vita Coco would be something that actually helps people who need something gentle and hydrating. I always get super dehydrated and I’m sure others are too. On campus, I’d also do small pop‑ups like study break tables, club collaborations, and sampling days with friends. My goal is to make Vita Coco feel like a normal part of college life and bring it into spaces people wouldn’t think about. I’d bring lots of creativity and energy while being a Vita Coco ambassador!

My favorite has always been the Original Vita Coco. It’s refreshing, simple, and one of the only drinks that never bothers my stomach, which matters a lot because I have Crohn’s. This summer, I could barely eat anything and would get dehydrated really fast, so Vita Coco honestly became my lifesaver. It helped me stay hydrated when nothing else worked, and it played a huge role in helping me slowly eat more again. I want to be able to share that experience with other people who might be going through something similar. I also love the non‑dairy coconut milks, especially the vanilla one. Since I’m dairy‑free, I use them for everything. I dip cookies in the regular coconut milk, and the vanilla one is perfect for smoothies when I need something light but filling. The Peach and Mango flavor is another one I grab constantly. I drink Vita Coco pretty much all day. I bring it to my infusion treatments, to class, when I’m cycling, and my dorm fridge looks like a mini Vita Coco store. I even got my mom hooked on it, and now she drinks it more than water. It’s something we both rely on, especially on days when hydration really matters.

Yes, I am fully available on 1/5 and can film at the College Park location. I can capture all required shots, including the weather‑app temperature check, the walk‑in experience, showing the deal to the employee, and presenting the offer in a fun and engaging way.
