About me

I am a creative, young public relations professional, excited to engage with others to create unique opportunities within the field of communications.

About me

 My creativity and familiarity with digital tools allow me to produce unique products that accurately represent a brand’s message. I am passionate about utilizing social media to encourage authentic communication between brands and their target audience. I am a quick learner and enjoy finding innovative ways to solve problems. 

In my free time you will find me reading, baking, or crocheting like a mad woman. On the weekends, my friends and I love exploring Chicago, searching for the city’s best coffee shops and bookstores. In a perfect world, I would spend every night screaming my lungs out at a concert. However, I spend most evenings at home having movie nights with friends and laughing over the latest stupid internet trends.
