this is where i talk about myself
-
My elementary school teachers described me as “lovely to have in class."
-
I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in December 2024, attending the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. I earned my degree in Media and Journalism with a concentration in Advertising and Public Relations. I want to use that degree to solve problems for clients and creatively impact the world.
While at UNC, I won Silver in two advertising competitions with Breaking and Entering’s Crowbar Awards and I led my senior year MEJO377 team to victory in a FOX Sports University Campaign Competition. The work for all three campaigns can be found under the Work tab!
I love gift-giving. I use gifts to show someone how much I care about them and how well I listen to and know them. Much effort and planning go into my gifts so my loved ones understand how important they are to me. When producing work for clients, I approach it with the same excitement and determination, as if it is my specially curated gift to them. I am driven by the knowledge that the countless hours I spend on a campaign will make my client feel happy, understood, and cared for.
My dad asked me if I had done any planning yet for my job search, and I proudly informed him I had made great progress. I curated a Pinterest board entitled “Corporate Chic” with fashionable work-appropriate outfits for when I get hired. So yes, I have done some intense planning and cannot wait to get into the office with my new professional wardrobe!
In my free time, I enjoy teaching myself guitar, planning my life on Pinterest, forcing my independent dog to cuddle me, or reading a book — preferably psychological thrillers, so if you need any recs (or have some), let me know!!
