About

Intentional
by Design

I'm a Senior Marketing Student at the University of Toledo, finishing a BBA while putting theory to work in internships, campus organizations, and freelance projects. My background spans graphic design, communications strategy, and photography. I am interested in why people do what they do, and how language is used to shape that.

Marketing and Storytelling go hand in hand. I want to play a role in that story, telling it and presenting it better.

I study language and persuasion. As leader of the Statecraft & Rhetoric Club, and studying how to articulate ideas, I am a cross-disciplined student able to tie all these things together. I am excited to leverage my skills in new creative projects.
