Vilma Shu

An experienced project manager, IT service liaison, and communications specialist, I have a passion for storytelling and connecting with people. My journey began in São Paulo, Brazil, and took me through the bustling streets of Lagos, Nigeria, and the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland before landing me at Penn State, where I triple-majored in English, French, and Economics. From an editorial intern to taking the helm as general manager at Town&Gown and The Centre County Gazette, I’ve always thrived on learning, leading, and making meaningful connections. As a Service Liaison for Penn State’s digital tools like Penn State Go, Canvas, and Zoom, I’ve had the privilege of bridging the gap between technology and the people who use it—faculty, students, and staff alike. My role at the Smeal College of Business allows me to continue this journey, where I collaborate with a dynamic team to streamline marketing efforts and stay ahead of the curve in a fast-paced, digital-first world. I’m driven by my love for storytelling, whether it's crafting a compelling narrative or helping others tell theirs. Life’s an adventure, and I’m all about making the most of every chapter!
