I graduated in 2019 from Vassar with a degree in PR and communications. After studying abroad in Italia (check out my Instagram highlights), I thought I was qualified to apply for jobs abroad. I submitted my profile of reels and posts on Handshake, and by the grace of God—and a Canva Premium subscription—got a response. The Vatican was looking for help jazzing up their profile, and who better to run their brand than a Gen-Z American?
Catholicism has 1.2 billion followers, so they were influencers before it was a thing. I’m tasked with converting centuries of solemn tradition into swipeable, digestible, algorithm-friendly vibes for all of these people. I have to turn the oldest influencer into the newest, trendiest one.

But thanks to a lawsuit that we can’t discuss and probably never even happened, we have formalized our promotion and tenure criteria so that everyone can be held to the same nearly impossible standard. These guidelines were written by almost-retired professors who never could have met these standards back in the 1980s, when all you needed for tenure was 1.5 publications and a bottle of scotch in your desk.
