About
I am a graduate student at the Missouri School of Journalism studying strategic communication. I work at the University of Missouri International Center as a communication graduate assistant. I help provide content and manage social media. I also create marketing materials to promote study aboard programs and International Center resources.
Before attending the University of Missouri, I received my bachelor's degree at Westminster College in International Studies and Spanish. While at Westminster I played college Tennis and had leadership roles in the International Club and the African Union. Additionally, I studied abroad in Valencia, Spain for a semester (four months). During my time in Spain, I volunteered at Hospital General Universitario de Valencia through ISA. I mainly worked with children recovering from sicknesses and surgery.
