I'm a 2016 journalism graduate from the University of Central Florida. While in college, I obtained marketing skills through internships, and journalism experience by way of good walking shoes. As a storyteller I was able to cover the 2016 presidential election in Orlando, the aftermath of the Pulse shooting, and student journeys on campus. My love for creative challenges brought me to my most recent project with Samsung. My goal is simple: to craft work with impact.
