ABOUT
I am from St. Petersburg Florida and am a graduate of the University of South Florida. I graduated with a bachelor's in Mass Communication with a broadcast focus. Through college, I have worked full-time to support myself at the TradeWinds Resort. Working full-time has taught me time management and helped me develop a professional mentality in the workplace. I want to work in broadcast production. At USF I learned to use video editing software, photoshop, and how to write AP style to best tell a story. During college I was a creative intern for Global Synthetic Ice and helped them develop their current website, putting my writing and video editing skills to work, along with other creative projects you can find in my blog and portfolio.
