Growing up in Illinois, it only felt right to continue my journey here — earning my Bachelor’s in Marketing from the world-renowned Gies College of Business. As a proud Illini, I found a second home in the community that helped shape my future.
Leadership
One of my proudest achievements during my time at Illinois was serving 600+ military-connected students through the Chez Veterans Center, helping them access the benefits they earned through service, and hosting events as the President of the Illini Veterans Club.
Internships
During my internship with Surface51, I had the opportunity to work with one of Urbana-Champaign’s premier marketing agencies. I developed two complete social media strategies for high-profile clients — Resident Interface and Cozad Asset Management — while collaborating closely with creative teams and gaining firsthand experience with client communication and campaign development.

Social Media Strategic Plan
At GDM Seeds, I collaborated with the international digital team to create tailored data exports and marketing materials for diverse U.S. markets, used for Yield Data Booklets in 2021. I streamlined content workflows for DONMARIO Seeds, supported the development of over 100 social media assets, videos, and product guides, and worked alongside LOCO Digital Agency to drive strategy and execution for paid ads across major social media platforms.
