Profile
I am an enthusastic public relations student and self-proclaimed food enthusiast. I enjoy people and doing my
part to contribute on a team. Public relations and social
media are a few of my passions in life. I am a quick
learner and a self-starter. New challenges and having
a lot on my plate (literally and figurately) excite and
motivate me.
