I am a senior at Iowa State University majoring in Advertising with a minor Business and Event Management. I'm passionate about using my work for the betterment of society and using my privilege to give a voice to the voiceless.
I've worked extensively in the media industry both on the marketing and sales side. Perviously, I've worked for PBS, NPR, and Bustle Digital Group in a variety of roles all dealing with media. I have deep knowledge of media sales, planning, and marketing. I am great at understanding and adapting to client needs whether they're looking to achieve greater brand awareness or launch a new product.
Outside of work, I volunteer my time with Make-A-Wish Foundation through yearly fundraising. I also volunteer with a few political campaigns helping register young students to vote.
