Before I started the MCBS program, I was attending a small college in West Virginia
called West Virginia Wesleyan.
Growing up I had always enjoyed my science classes and learning exactly how the body works. Therefore, I decided to study Exercise Physiology with hopes to possibly end up in grad school for physical
therapy.
It took me three years at Wesleyan studying exercise physiology to realize that my heart
wasn't in the program at all.
I had been Philanthropy Chair in my sorority while attending WVWC, which means I was in charge of
putting on service events for Alpha Delta Pi's philanthropy, The Ronald McDonald House.
I had the opportunity to organize our annual Pi-K race in 2012, and helped our sorority raise the most money we ever
have during that event - almost $1,000 for the Ronald McDonald House!
Bringing a group of people together for a common purpose and running a successful event has
always been something I've thoroughly enjoyed.
Because of that, it was clear to me that I needed to find an institution that would be able to help
me fulfill my new dream - event planning!
Along with planning events, I have always had a strong passion for music and the music industry. Attending live
shows and music festivals is one of my favorite things to do.
What better way to combine both of my passions of planning events and music, then to work towards
becoming an event planner within the music industry!
My dream is to one day, work behind the scenes in either event planning or project management for one of my favorite music companies, such as Insomniac
Events or Ultra Music Records.
When I discovered Full Sail offered a Media Communications degree, I knew this school was exactly
where I wanted to be.
Ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media, opportunities have been revealing themselves to me out of the wood works!
I recently landed an amazing position as operations assistant to the VP/COO of an event
called Independence Music Festival, which is coming to Orlando in August.
I could not be more tickled to have this opportunity because I am currently getting behind
the scenes experience within my dream career.
I'm also working on other projects with Full Sail students, such as a Youtube show called Media
Bonkers and podcasts for an electronic music radio show.
