Summary
Strategic communications student with a genuine interest in marketing, public relations and social media. I’ve gained hands-on leadership experience through Alpha Phi, serving as Director of Sisterhood and Director of Recruitment, where I focused on communication, engagement and organization. I’m also building real-world experience as an ODU Athletics Communications intern. Curious, motivated and excited to keep learning, growing my skills and contributing in collaborative communications environments.
