Welcome to my digital portfolio! I am a senior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, pursuing a degree in public relations and minor in marketing. I am an aspiring public relations professional, ready to make a difference in the world.

About Me

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of communication to build lasting relationships. I am a catalyst for genuine connection, fueled by an unshakable belief that authentic communication can transform lives and organizations. My passion lies in understanding why we communicate the way we do and how those connections shape the stories we tell, where vulnerability meets strength and honesty sparks trust. I am unapologetically empathetic and fiercely committed to elevating voices that demand to be heard.

How I Work

I work at the intersection of strategy and humanity, combining sharp problem-solving with a genuine care for people’s stories. Every step of my process is intentional. I seek to understand before being understood, to build trust before delivering messages and to create meaning that lasts beyond a single moment. I strive to make communication the spark that fuels true connection, continuous growth and measurable real-world results.

My Ethos

I live by the belief that empathy and authenticity are the cornerstones of every meaningful relationship, whether personal or professional. I commit to showing up honestly, listening deeply and acting with integrity. To me, every challenge and experience is an opportunity to learn, grow and build genuine connections that uplift others. I strive to lead with kindness and courage, knowing that real impact begins when we choose to be vulnerable, present and true to ourselves.

The most important thing in communication is listening to what isn’t said.”
