I am currently growing my career in digital marketing and actively searching for a 2027 summer internship. I am passionate about strategic communication, creative storytelling and brand development. As a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, my academic experiences have strengthened my interest in pursuing a career in marketing, where I can help brands build meaningful and authentic connections with their audiences.
My Story
hey there!
I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pursuing a B.A. in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Information Systems.
Some fun facts about me are that my family and I have fostered over 2200 dogs, I love to paint, and I have always had an interest in social media branding, starting with running my mom's website and Instagram for her small business at 13! Now, seven years later, I still find joy in seeing my critical thinking and hard work come together.
