Resourceful Public relations and communications with Experience in fundraising for non-profit organizations.

My long-term goal is to be the best in my field and understand more in the world of public relations. I want to create a new space in the industry where we allow the newer generations to take leadership, experience the work field, and bring innovative ideas that excite and inspire. As somebody determined, hard-working, accountable, and always ready for the next challenge, I believe I am the right person to help bring this concept to life.

Writing has always been my biggest passion among many. As a creative writing major in high school, my focus is poetry and creative fiction. I bring the art of language into what I do currently and create clear,

cut communication with those around me, and my community. I have multiple accolades in writing and with them and I work every day to get better in my skillset and vocabulary. With writing, I am passionate about sports, specifically softball. As a softball player, I work great and efficiently among others. As a catcher on the field, softball brings me the ability to lead, dedicate my time and commitment, and find a reason to be better than the day I was before. I am the President of the Florida Public Relations Association student chapter called, “Vision.” As President, I communicate thoroughly with my committee and higher-ups to assist in event planning, recruitment, and presentations.

Additionally, I am also passionate about volunteering. I see volunteering as an opportunity to help others and your community while creating personal character development. I work with helping the community every year during hurricane season by filling sandbags and spreading safety and emergency information to the community on how to prepare. By the same token, I also volunteer at the Halifax Humane Society with animals such as dogs and cats. Additionally, I volunteer to tutor students in mostly English and creative writing.
