Where I’ve Been, Where I Am, Where I’m Going
The Early Days: Began cultivating an interest in marketing and communications through formative internships, including a pivotal role at Undeniable Media where I leveraged creativity to foster relationships with local businesses, driving community growth.
2019-2022: Embarked on an accelerated academic journey at Penn State, graduating one year ahead of schedule with a Bachelor's in Public Relations, complemented by minors in Digital Media Trends and Analytics, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Theatre. During my time at Penn State, I was actively engaged in campus life, contributing to organizations like Happy Valley Communications and the Public Relations Student Society of America. I also held influential leadership positions within Penn State THON, an organization supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer, that shaped my college experience. I was also able to garner extensive hands-on experience through impactful internships at B/Hi, HUNTER, and Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics, where I honed my skills and spearheaded diverse projects.
2022-2023: Towards the end of my senior year, I knew my time at Penn State wasn’t over quite just yet, and I decided to stay for one more victory lap to pursue my MBA in the novel year of this program for the Smeal College of Business.
2023-Present: Relocated to the vibrant Washington, D.C. area to join 300Brand, contributing to client success in PR, digital marketing, and event management within the government technology sector.
