In school, they convinced us that there’s no such thing as a truly objective person. But in MOJO Ad, we were introduced to Maleah— and now we don’t know what to believe. As the walking incarnation of diplomacy, she first discovered her passion for knowledge from reading the classics. It wasn’t long before she decided leave her hometown and put her naturally ravenous mind to work by studying advertising at Mizzou.

Since arriving in Columbia, Missouri, she has avoided boredom by playing with her dog Sugar, swimming laps and cracking datasets like loose knuckles. She also works for Mizzou’s Campus Activities Programming Board as a marketing assistant. This past summer, she lived in Hong Kong and interned for McCann Erickson, helping to develop a campaign for one of their clients, Cathay Pacific. After graduation, she plans to become a researcher and work for another global agency

Meet Nour Feghali, our newest member to the research team. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, this international traveler is about as impressive as they come. Fluent in three languages and serving as a member of the Missouri International Student Council Executive Board, she can easily both talk the talk AND walk the walk. She can even write in English backward.

This past summer, Nour spent a month abroad in the city of Hong Kong, where she interned for McCann Worldgroup. There, she led her eight-person team to victory by winning a simulation pitch to McCann executives for their client, Cathay Pacific. Back stateside, she spends her days here at Mizzou tutoring French and Arabic for the Learning Center and working to bridge gaps between international and local students.
