About

Hi, my name is Zakhya Williams. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. Being strategic, futuristic, and responsible are just a few of my skills. I graduated from Jones High School with honors. While in high school I joined the dual enrollment program allowing me to obtain transfer credits from Valencia Community College. I am currently a Junior at Howard University majoring in Strategic, Legal, and Management Communications and minoring in Theatre Arts. I have made the Dean's list every semester with a 3.4 G.P.A.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I've always enjoyed performing arts whether it be dancing, singing, or acting. My appreciation for the entertainment industry sparked my interest in becoming a Publicist. I want to help my clients use the media to enhance their brand rather than tarnish it.

Outside the classroom

I have always enjoyed dancing and listening to music. I like to attend dance studios on my free time and take different classes. I also enjoy doing yoga; I find it calming when I've had a busy week.

Volunteering

  • I was the Step team coach at Memorial Middle School. I worked with girls ages 11-14 for an hour everyday after school creating steps and rehearsing shows for their performances.
