My Story

I graduated from Decatur High School in Atlanta, Georgia, and then ventured north to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I was passionate about meeting new people and engaging in campus activities. At James Madison University, I initiated a running club called Healthy Celebrations, which unites student runners, fostering a sense of community and support among participants. As a member of the Phi Mu sorority, I have taken on the role of house manager for the academic year 2023-24, overseeing our sorority house operations and contributing to a supportive living and learning environment. My involvement extends to the Honor Committee at Phi Mu, where I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity within the sorority. 

​

In my design courses at JMU, I've engaged in diverse projects utilizing tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Canva, Wix, and WordPress. In my UX design class, I developed an app aimed at enhancing the registration process for group exercise classes at our university gym. Additionally, in my Advertising class, I collaborated on a blog project focusing on influencers with disabilities. You can explore many of these projects showcased on my website—be sure to take a look!

​

Parallel to my academic and extracurricular endeavors, I work as a barista at 7 Brew, a popular coffee shop in Harrisonburg, VA. This role has honed my customer service skills and ability to work effectively in fast-paced settings, further enriching my ability to manage and execute multiple responsibilities simultaneously. This summer, I am excited to embark on a new journey with The Lola, a women's workspace dedicated to fostering professional growth and collaboration. As a digital marketing intern, I look forward to leveraging my skills in digital media to enhance their online presence. I will be curating and managing their content, which aligns with my career aspirations in digital media management.
