Personal Summary

As a marketing major with minors in media arts and international business, I spent much of my time in undergrad developing the ability to write, speak, and produce content. While at the University of Kentucky, I worked for the UK sports video department and Valvoline, where I engaged regularly with different brands, media teams, and creative humans. In my current position, I consistently produce newsletters for benefactors that have been given extremely high praises. Writing, video editing, and making things "look pretty" are skills I both possess and enjoy.

My dream would be to incorporate my passions for creativity and travel with my Catholic faith. The Lord has given us all gifts, and I wish to use mine.

Please see my resume for further details regarding my education and work history. I would love to send samples of my writing and videos if there is interest.

God bless you.
