Summary

I am a junior at Michigan State University studying to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in public relations and a minor in business. School, work, and volunteer work have aided in preparation for a professional career. Searching for an internship for the summer of 2024 is the next stop in the process, with the hope of potential opportunities beyond graduation.


Experience in working started before joining the workforce. Working farmers' markets across the midwest with my grandpa selling horseradish among other freshly produced products provided insight into the workforce. Work ethic and interpersonal relations were skills instilled in me from a young age, remaining a priority in a professional career setting.


Previous experience in fieldwork of public relations is lackluster at this point in my career, understandably creating doubt. Nonetheless, confidence and consistency have been a driving factor in this process. Thank you for taking the time to review this resume and I truly hope to connect shortly!
