A BIT ABOUT ME
I am a Public Relations Major at Iowa State University, and I am passionate about creating meaningful connections through strategic communication and creative storytelling. My experiences include academic projects, event planning, and hands on communication work. I have built a very strong foundation in media writing, brand messaging, and campaign development.
Originally being from the small town of Audubon, Iowa, I bring small town values of hard work, community, and creativity in everything I do. I am certified in Excel Essentials and Logo Design, which allows me mix analytical skills while still keeping a strong sense of design. Whether I am creating a media kit, tracking coverage for a crisis response, or repurposing content, I am able to approach each project with focus and a drive to create great results.
Beyond the classroom, I have been able to strengthen my adaptability and problem-solving through my work experience as a personal assistant, nanny, and server. These jobs helps me grow my communication skills, organization, and ability to connect with many different people, which are skills that I can carry over into the Public Relations and Event Management world.
Looking forward, I aspire to find a career that doesn't feel like work, one where I can use strategy and creativity to inform, inspire, and engage.
