Writing With Measurable Impact

Success For Company, Team, & Individual

The Intersection of Critical Thinking, Research & Creativity

For me, writing is an art in which I craft meaningful stories that impact both the heart and the bottom line. I am proficient in Microsoft Office, Social Media, and Adobe Photoshop.

I am detail-oriented and very organized. That, coupled with my unique leadership style, drives me to make sure that each individual on my team finds personal success in addition to achieving team and company success.

I analyze the environment, conduct research, and tap into boundless creativity in order to formulate strategic solutions for branding. However, I know the best solutions are beaten down, torn apart, and strengthened by a team.

Extracurricular Activities

Interfaith

Cabinet Chair

"The Center for Interfaith Community Engagement is a student-centered initiative that both allows individuals to deepen their personal faith and enhance their understanding of other traditions. Further, it serves the larger community in areas of social justice, shared religious teachings and leadership development." – Xavier.edu

Throughout my 3 years of experience with Interfaith, I have risen from a mere attendee at events to a cabinet chair in charge of other Interfaith cabinet members. Some of my favorite parts about Interfaith are:
1) Serving the community, particularly the homeless
2) Celebrating and loving all people
3) Bringing joy to campus through our diverse events

Center for International Education

Interlink Peer Mentor

"The Interlink Peer Mentor (IPM) program is an important connection between international students, scholars, and campus life. At the beginning of each semester, IPM mentors assist new students and scholars with adjusting to life at Xavier University. Throughout the academic school year, the IPM program continues to serve new international students and scholars with their adjustments to campus." – Xavier.edu

The IPM program has allowed me to further my knowledge about other cultures and languages. It has also given me the opportunity to embrace culturally diverse students and help them adjust to the U.S., while also welcoming them into my heart as valued friends.

Xavier Journal of Undergraduate Research

Editorial Board Member

"The XJUR Editorial Board selects submissions and assists in preparing accepted works for publication." – Xavier.edu

The Xavier Journal of Undergraduate Research (XJUR) has been an opportunity that challenges my mind and allows me to celebrate the hard work of my fellow students. It also encouraged me to submit my own research to the journal. If you would like to read my research, please click the link below.
