Teia Perez

I am a U101 Peer Leader with University 101 Programs at the University of South Carolina, where I have served since August 2026. I am also a USC Representative on the City of Columbia Government's Collegiate Engagement Council, a role I have held since August 2025, collaborating with student leaders from across Columbia to champion civic initiatives, elevate student perspectives, and contribute to meaningful change in the city. Additionally, I am a Retail Operations Intern at Gamecock iHub and a member of HRSM Leaders at the University of South Carolina College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management. Most recently, I completed a Merchandising Internship for AE Women's Dresses at American Eagle Outfitters in New York. Throughout my career as a student leader and intern, I have developed deep expertise in merchandising, retail operations, and civic engagement.
