As she embarks on her journey as International President, Caracciolo is eager to further connect Chapters and members across the globe to broaden student’s perspectives of our Society.

Additionally, Caracciolo has been a leader of the Garnet Media Group marketing team, her international business fraternity and the Gamecock Club Beach Volleyball team.
Throughout her collegiate career, Caracciolo has held many internship positions. This summer she works as a Corporate Communications intern for Monumental Sports & Entertainment.
