"Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there." -- Venus Williams
I am a recent graduate of Southeast Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Marketing Communications. My time at Southeast prepared me with tools needed to successfully plan and execute marketing projects, influence, build relationships, communication, and innovate.
My ability to read and understand social media analytics is what landed me my second position at the Arrow as Digital Managing Editor. As DME, I was responsible for creating innovative content for social media, website, Youtube, and SoundCloud. Soon after, I became Editor-in-Chief for the Arrow. My thinking had to shift from digital storytelling to laying out a visually pleasing biweekly print product. My goal was to always appeal to my audience and it still is.
As of today, I am an employable former college student looking to make an impact in my community. While I am searching for my next opportunity in my field I am coaching a junior Olympic volleyball for Memphis Metro and working as Marketing Communications Manager/Licensed Sales Producer at The Alexander Group Allstate Insurance.
