Amelia Muller graduated from Harvard College in 2011 with a degree in History of Art and Architecture, magna cum laude with highest honors. Amelia remained in Cambridge following graduation, serving as a Harvard College admissions officer from 2011 to 2013. In addition to reading and evaluating applications to Harvard, Amelia oversaw the admitted students weekend and contributed to the overhaul of Harvard College Admissions’ digital presence across web, mobile, social, and video. This introduction to the digital space led Amelia to a role in education partnerships at Google in New York City, before landing in her current role in account management at Blue State Digital, an agency that works with causes, brands, and institutions to create change online.
Amelia writes: “I never imagined when I declared HAA as my concentration that I would one day ‘work in tech,’ but today I find myself immersed in the vocabulary of wireframes, analytics, and site copy. Though my current profession may seem contrary to my undergraduate training, the visual acuity, attention to detail, and writing skills I honed through HAA serve me on a daily basis in my work.
Beyond providing me with a strong liberal arts foundation, HAA was truly a home for me at Harvard. The comradery of our tight-knit group of concentrators and the mentorship of my professors and teaching fellows formed a community that has continued to enrich my life well after graduation.”
