Who is she?

As an advertising professional, I value creativity, innovation, and adaptability. My approach is rooted in these qualities. I am constantly seeking new advancements in the field. I am dedicated to helping others achieve their goals, from brainstorming effective campaigns to executing them flawlessly. I am committed to continuous learning and further skill development to ensure I deliver top-quality work.

 

Ultimately, my family and the previously mentioned values are evident in my work and my work ethic. I hold a BA in Advertising from the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, with a minor in Communication Studies and a strong foundation built through multiple internships in the advertising industry. During my junior and senior years, I interned with Connect Marketing Services, Brightpaths, and The Oglethorpe Echo in Athens, gaining valuable industry experience. My minor in Communication Studies further strengthened my collaboration, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills, all of which are essential for both academic achievement and professional growth. While in school, I was involved in numerous student organizations and maintained positions on their executive boards, such as Treasurer for Women in Media and Vice President for the non-profit Designated Dawgs. These experiences have all shaped my current achievements and future aspirations.

This not that.

Professional: well spoken, not arrogant or know it all

Effective: concise and to the point, not beat around the bush or excessive

Simple: homey, comfortable, not over dramatic or outlandish

Light hearted: cheerful and happy, enjoying life, not carefree

Vanilla: a staple, everyone's favorites, not boring
