Meet Hinano Tomlinson, a Music Industry graduate from the College of the Arts. This next chapter takes her to Japan to reconnect with family and her culture before exploring what’s next — whether that’s stepping into the music industry or pursuing a master’s in marketing. Each path reflects her passion for growth, creativity, and building a career that feels true to who she is. During her time at GSU, Hinano spent nearly four years working with the Public Relations and Marketing Communications team, where she discovered a passion for marketing and social media. What started as an unexpected opportunity turned into a new career path, allowing her to build real-world experience while strengthening her foundation in the music industry. Hinano’s journey is a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you never saw coming, and that growth can lead to more than one path forward. #CollegeToCareer #TheStateWay
