Expertizes
Communication Experience
I’ve worked for multiple publication companies over my years as a writer. Much of my work thus far has consisted of investigative, athletic pieces focusing mostly on Football and Softball. I have also worked with my high school in local fundraising campaigns by producing strategic communication videos and social media posts
Hobbies
I am an extremely active person and some of my favorite hobbies include snowboarding, hiking, bee keeping, running, weight lifting, traveling, softball and videography.
Work Experience
I’ve worked many different jobs throughout high school and college, most of which pertained to customer service. I’ve always loved an energetic work place that involves communication and problem solving. Some jobs I’ve held include being a waitress, kitchen supervisor, ordering manager, and even, a farmhand for a few years in high school.
Career Goals
My main career goal is to work in an environment that doesn’t feel like work. As long as I am writing and communicating with good people, doing something I love, I know I will be happy. Currently, I am pursing a reporting degree within the school of Journalism, hopefully angled towards sports!
