​

A baby-faced, cheesy-joke telling, creative-minded, action-oriented Junior at Virginia Commonwealth University majoring in Mass Communications: Creative Advertising, with a concentration in Copywriting and minoring in General Business.

​

Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia for all twenty-one years of my life, I have fallen in love with just about each and every aspect of the city. Everything from the atmosphere at VCU basketball games, to venturing out and exploring Belle Isle, downtown Richmond, and the now renowned Short Pump Mall, I have known that this is the place in which I want to continue my education and pursue my career.

​

I have wanted to work in advertising ever since I was in middle school. There is something about the challenge  of attempting to influence potential consumers into purchasing something, whilst promoting, impacting and supporting an organization grow that hooked me into the advertising industry at such an early age, and ever since, I haven't looked back.
