Hey there!
I graduated from Auburn University with a BA in Public Relations, and I have skills and interests in fashion, beauty, influencer, and branded entertainment marketing. I have a minor in Human Development and Family Studies that has enhanced my understanding of human behavior and social interactions.
Through my experience at Ketchum PR, CLD PR, Power Move Marketing, Grove Communication, Stafford Communications, Tiffany & Co., and Ralph Lauren, I gained valuable experience in influencer marketing, media outreach, and customer service. I developed content strategies, conducted media research, wrote and sent pitches, and sourced and negotiated with influencers for clients' campaigns. Additionally, I'm on top of emerging social media, culture, and fashion trends. I am proficient in Adobe, Microsoft, Traackr, Fashion GPS, and social media platforms, which has allowed me to demonstrate my creativity and engagement skills.
I am responsible, disciplined, and organized. I am passionate about my work and always open to receiving feedback.
I have also shown leadership qualities by being involved in Lambda Pi Eta, the Communication Studies Honor Society of the National Communication Association. I was awarded the American Legion Award for my courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service. I am always eager to learn and challenge myself, as demonstrated by my study and internship abroad in London. I am currently seeking an entry-level position in communications in Chicago to contribute to the success and growth of a dynamic and innovative organization.
My Story
I was born and raised in Clarendon Hills, IL, where I attended the same high school where my parents' love story began. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, I was imbued with a sense of adventure and confidence that helped me make the bold decision to commit to a university that was 700 miles away from my comfort zone.
At Auburn University, I learned how to embody the spirit of an "Auburn Woman" by taking on various classes and experiences that broadened my knowledge and horizons. Auburn is the third-best PR program in the nation. When I was at Auburn, I was an account manager for the Oaks Agency, the PR officer for Best Buddies, and I was the Director of the Alumni Network for my social sorority; which entailed planning our chapter’s parents' weekends in the spring and fall, senior dinner, and our founders day celebration. I was also a member of Auburn Apparel Merchandising and Design Administration and PRSSA. My classes were very hands-on and I’ve taken on many clients in my classes.
​
After going to college over 700 miles from my hometown, I have learned how to thrive in an unfamiliar area. That knowledge has only expanded in my time working and living in London. I have learned how to work well with a group of people who have lived their whole lives halfway across the world from everything I knew. I have gained unmeasurable skills on how to prosper away from home. My unique background has made me a well-rounded individual with the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Through these experiences, I have honed my skills to navigate unfamiliar territories with ease, connect with a diverse range of audiences, and remain adaptable even in the face of unprecedented challenges. The most important lesson I gained was that we are all more alike than different.
