Metea Valley HS Volleyball-Social Media Manager

Since running my high school volleyball team’s Instagram during our State Championship 2021 season (my senior season)- I have always returned home each summer to continue running the account during Metea Valley’s volleyball camps each July, and to visit my second family of alumni and coaches I have from that State team, of course! This past summer 2024 I’ve had most growth with the account…

📈 Finally broke 1K followers (currently at 1,112)
📈Have 168K accounts, and counting, interacting with @meteagirlsvolleyball on IG (with a usual average of about 700 accounts interacting every 30 days throughout the year)
📈Had one of Instagram Reels go viral at almost 50K likes and 450K plays

I really dug into my curriculum and learning from Missouri School of Journalism specifically with my experience taking their Journalism4160--“Social Media Foundations and Practice” course last year. Utilizing promotion through different outlets provided by social media platforms- Instagram, in this case. I remained active on IG stories and through posts, tagging and encouraging accounts to interact through tagging and call-to-actions. I also studied the accounts most active times to post and planned out announcements and graphics to release all the way up to their tryouts in August. My biggest and best new experience this summer being the use of reels, or small videos posted to the accounts main feed. From highlighting the summer camp players to using satirical content, it opened doors to a whole new audience and was a great help in the accounts growth in just two weeks!
