Amelia Domer (Media Lead)
Hi everyone! My name is Amelia Domer and I am a senior at Hawaii Pacific University studying Strategic Communications. I have long been intertwined in the music realm and love to sing/write music. Through this project I have been able to combine both my passion for marketing and music into one. I am lucky enough to also be able to perform my own music, I look forward to the show and hope you guys do too!
