A Bit About Me
A current graduate student living in the United Kingdom, I received the Dean's International Excellence Award to attend the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. I will graduate September 2026 with a MSc in Media & Communication. During my studies, I have supported Glasgow City Innovation District and the University of Strathclyde as a Marketing Intern.
I attended the University of Louisville as an Honors Scholar before working for two years as the Communication & Marketing Coordinator at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati. In undergrad, I created my own major called Literary Management. This allowed me to combine English and Communication classes with Business and Management courses. Storytelling has always been a huge passion of mine, and I hope to continue to uplift the voices of my community throughout my career.
In my free time, you can find me curled up with my cats reading, making TikToks for my BookTok account, or painting with watercolors. I enjoy creative, cozy hobbies that allow me to express myself and connect with art and culture. I am also a big hockey fan and love grabbing a pint while watching a game.
Recently, I finished the first draft of a romance novel. I am currently deep in the editing stage and excited to one day get my book out into the world.
I look forward to connecting with you!
