About
I am a senior at University of North Carolina-Wilmington and my major is communication studies. I have been to multiple colleges to seek knowledge in other different fields of study. This includes music, computer information systems, psychology, and network security. I want to use my major to spread my experiences across the globe, and pursue a job either working with autistic individuals or running a tax office that helps students with their taxes and financial aid. In reality, I can do any job with my major. Effective communication is crucial in the workplace and in every day life.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I want to either work with autistic individuals. Autistics have communication barriers. I want to use the techniques that have been taught to me by my professors to help them to communicate with their loved ones.
I would also like to run a tax office where I can help college students complete their taxes and financial processes. I am currently in tax school to become a certified tax preparer. I want to use this to help out fellow college students since school can be costly.- Graduate school interests
I am all about expanding my education. I am currently deciding when I want to attend graduate school. When I do, I will probably go to East Carolina Univerity to receive my Applied Behavioral Analysis certification.
- Outside the classroom
Singing and having good conversation are my top two hobbies. I also love exercising, swimming, and traveling.
