My name is Brielle Entzminger, and I am a forward-thinking creator with 5+ years of experience working in communications and journalism, as well as social and digital media.

​

After graduating from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Media Studies and American Studies and a minor in French in 2019, I served as the lead news reporter for C-VILLE Weekly, Charlottesville's award-winning weekly alternative newspaper. For nearly four years, I pitched news and feature stories, built relationships with sources, and wrote about critical issues—including politics, government, activism, crime, education, housing, and the COVID-19 pandemic—in the Charlottesville area and across Virginia for C-VILLE's weekly newspapers and special issues reaching 30,000+ readers.
 

I am now a Communications Strategist for UVA's Miller Center of Public Affairs, where I spearhead innovative social media strategies and produce creative content, particularly attention-grabbing clips of the Center's events. Additionally, I pitch and write articles for the Center's Illumination magazine, as well as create a weekly newsletter publicizing the Center's events. I am responsible for producing a variety of additional internal and external communications—including book promotional pages, event programs, and speaker bios—for the Center's website and print materials, ultimately promoting its scholars, endeavors, and accomplishments.

​

On here you will find my favorite stories I wrote for C-VILLE. I have also included two personal writings I published on my Patreon, an article and podcast I created as a demo project for UVA's Weldon Cooper Center Media Team, and the stories I wrote for Charlottesville Tomorrow, where I served as a news intern and an Emma Bowen Foundation fellow.
