From an early age, I’ve had a passion for communicating—whether it was telling stories (or writing them), engaging with others, or finding ways to express the limitless ideas floating around in my head. I wasn’t always sure how I would channel that passion and my love for working with others into a career but studying in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Drake University has been the perfect fit.As an advertising and public relations student, I’m excited to continue exploring the dynamic field of communications. I’m particularly drawn to account services, where I can combine strategic thinking, collaboration, and creativity to help brands connect with their audiences in meaningful ways.Through my coursework and hands-on projects, I’ve gained experience in campaign development, brand development, and maintenance, and crafting messaging that resonates with people. Whether it’s developing a comprehensive advertising campaign for a class project or producing original and innovative content as the live mascot intern, I’m committed to delivering impactful results.Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, I bring a strong work ethic, dedication, and enthusiasm for learning to every opportunity. I’m eager to connect with professionals in the industry and further develop my skills as I prepare for a career in communications.
