Meet Haven Media

Carly is a senior at the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business, majoring in Marketing with a minor in Sports Media. She will graduate in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, graduating with honors and a marketing leadership award for product management.

Growing up on Lake Erie, her most meaningful memories were shaped by time spent sailing, boating, and summers at camp, experiences that fostered a deep appreciation for the water, the environment, and the sense of community it creates.

What began as a passion naturally evolved into a pursuit, growing youth sailing programs, capturing meaningful experiences, and turning what she loves into purposeful work.

Through roles with The Cleveland Yachting Club and the International Lightning Class Association, Carly has developed her creative voice, strengthened her leadership, and gained hands-on experience managing and growing social media platforms.

She has continued to expand her experience through work with Gamecock Athletics Marketing and the Charleston Race Week Media Team. Currently, she contributes to the Lightning Class, Social Nomad Media, and Sailing World Magazine’s media team for the 2026 Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series.

Carly is driven by a passion for creating content that feels genuine, intentional, and impactful, and is excited to continue building meaningful work within the industry.
