My Resume

 I am a Senior Marketing Major with a Brand Communications Minor. My passion is to learn and express my creativity in every aspect of my life. I look for opportunities that prioritize teamwork and welcome collaboration in all aspects of the business.

About Me!

I grew up in Atlanta, GA, and loved drawing and design at an early age. I began making my infamous PowerPoint videos for family member’s birthdays and holidays. I took my first graphic design class in high school and loved developing stories behind my designs. My high school offered a coursework concentration for business through Junior Achievement Academy, where I was able to spend every month creating and developing case studies for numerous corporations and companies in the Atlanta area with assigned teammates. These case studies were then “pitched” to each company’s executives in a competition (and, of course, my team won a few!) While at Clemson, I started the Clemson Fashion Club as a creative outlet for the community, promoting diverse thought and style on campus. I interviewed and was selected to work with Cadency, a student-led brand communications agency that works with several professional clients to guide and grow their brand and marketing needs. I am excited to pursue a career where I can continue to merge my creative and problem-solving skills.
