Summary

A Baylor University student journalist looking for positions in writing, editing and public relations.


My time as a student reporter for the Baylor Lariat, I worked to tell the stories of smaller businesses and groups in Waco. I connected and interviewed professors, students, business owners and citizens to gain perspectives and get the most accurate, truthful story.


As a customer service representative with the City of Waco, I have performed a wide variety of tasks such as public relations at events, website management and store management. With my experience with the Economic Development and Tourism department, I have worked in the office environment to help Waco become a prime tourist destination.
