About
I am a junior mass communication student and future public relations professional. While attending Henderson State University, I worked as communications director for the student newspaper, yearbook, radio station and television station. After nine months in the position, I transferred to Louisiana State University and was accepted into the Manship School of Mass Communication. I will soon obtain a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication with a public relations concentration and a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in sociology, communication studies and screen arts. My goal is to convey my passion for words, media and people in my future employment.
