Nice to meet you.

I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying marketing, strategic communications and business analytics, and I enjoy approaching creative and data-driven projects with a strategic mindset. Welcome to my portfolio of work from my professional and academic experiences.

I am Creative. Driven. Inspired.

Creative. I have always been a communicator and a creator. From scribbling poems and songs in notebooks to now producing ad copy and press releases, I have always felt compelled to write. I also grew up as a performer in theatre and dance, which has fine-tuned my artistic skills that I now apply in areas such as graphic design and social media.

Driven. I plan to graduate in May 2025 from the University of Kansas. I will graduate a Bachelor of Science in business (with a major marketing and a minor in business analytics). I will also graduate with a Bachelor of Science in journalism and mass communications (with a major in strategic communications, which is also known as digital marketing communications, advertising and public relations). Additionally, I plan to complete the University of Kansas arts engagement certificate.

I am also a University Honors Program student, a National Merit Scholar, a Chancellors Club Scholar, a student and former executive board member of the KU Business Leadership Program and a student in the Jack Dicus Business Honors Program. In addition to my studies, I have been involved in various extracurriculars, internships, student jobs, volunteer activities and leadership opportunities.

Inspired. What inspires me to create and strategize is the effective communication that comes from powerful insights. I am always curious to learn more about the world around me and eager to apply new insights to my work.
