  • Senior, Digital Arts & Culture and Journalism, Advertising, & Media Studies majors

I will be graduating from UWM in three years with a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts and Culture (DAC) and Journalism, Advertising, and Media Studies (JAMS), with concentrations in Advertising/Public Relations and Media Studies, as well as an Honors College Degree with Distinction.

Currently, I serve as the Vice President of Chapter Development for the PRSSA National Committee, the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Planned Parenthood Generation Action and a Student Officer on the Digital Arts and Culture Student Council. I’ve also had the privilege of serving as the Student Lead for UWM’s Union Marketing Copywriting and Social Media Team. Throughout my time at UWM, I’ve been fortunate to intern with Bader Rutter, Summerfest, and the Springfield Youth Performance Group. After graduation, I will be returning to the Central Illinois region to join Baum Automotive Brand as their Marketing Manager.

I am deeply honored to be inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society and would like to thank Jackie Bradway, Marc Tasman, Eric Lohman, Lia Wolock, the Honors College, the Accessibility Resource Center and the Union Marketing team for their unwavering love and support during my time at UWM.
