When I first started at UAB, transferring from Jefferson State Community College, I came in with an immense passion for English, and an idea in my head that my future would be in writing. Book reports, reading, and writing were always my strongest attributes in high school. However, when I discovered marketing, my whole philosophy changed. In marketing, the importance of writing and communicating professionally is a perfect fit for me and my love for the language. At UAB, I am working to hone my knowledge and abilities to become the perfect fit in any marketing team. In addition to my educational experience, my experiences in grocery and retail have instilled in me the importance of teamwork and perseverance.
