About Aaron Zavala

As a Public Relations and Advertising undergraduate at The University of Texas at Arlington, I’m passionate about connecting people, stories, and brands through meaningful communication and impactful experiences. My journey across hospitality, customer engagement, and leadership roles has strengthened my ability to lead teams, create positive guest interactions, and uphold brand values in fast-paced environments.Currently, I serve as both a Shift Lead and Ace Trainer at Topgolf, where I coach new associates, facilitate engaging training sessions, and foster a team culture focused on excellence and guest satisfaction. My hands-on experience in leadership, public speaking, and operations management has taught me how to blend strategy with empathy—skills that translate seamlessly into public relations and marketing.Previously, I represented UTA as a University Ambassador, where I led campus-wide events and strengthened student engagement through communication and collaboration. My earlier experience in customer service and operations at Chick-fil-A, Uncle Julio’s, and Grand Prairie ISD further developed my adaptability, teamwork, and communication—qualities that define my professional approach today.I’m driven by opportunities to grow within the advertising and communications space, where I can leverage my leadership experience, storytelling ability, and relationship-building skills to help organizations connect authentically with their audiences.
