Goals and interests

Career goal

I chose marketing because I want to be able to use the knowledge and skill developed there to help Christian churches and organizations better communicate to the world around them. I believe the best way to do this is through marketing because churches and organizations are trying to draw people into their services and events in order to obtain their primary purpose of sharing the gospel. I think that I can help modify and improve the current marketing strategies that churches use so that they can reach more people as well as be more effective. The main purpose of marketing is to identify and fill the specific needs of people, and then determine how to best shape and create products that help fill those needs. I believe that everyone has a need and deep desire for God and their faith and I want to help churches and other religious organizations better create and shape their ministry so they can help more people.

Outside the classroom

I played competitive volleyball from 2011 to 2020 in high school, select, and in college. I enjoy being active and working out as well. I love to spend time with kids teaching them and playing with them. I also enjoy leading worship and being involved in church organizations. I love to travel and see new places, learn about the history of these places, and learn about the people and culture.
