What I'm looking for

I'm prepared to serve in any role, advancing institutional goals through innovative programs, strategic partnerships, and comprehensive student support.

At Francis Marion University, I plan campus-wide activities and signature events that support student engagement. I also advise student organizations and mentor student leaders in governance, programming, budgeting, and event execution.

I participate in student conduct processes, including case management and student accountability conversations, and connect students with healthcare resources through the Welvista Health Access Program. I earned the Certified Student Engagement Professional designation through the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities.

At Horry County Memorial Library System, I delivered research, circulation, and reference services, and led social media marketing initiatives. I also curated video content for the library’s emerging media initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a Marketing Communications Intern | Digital Ambasador at Coker College, I developed digital media campaigns and produced The Cobra Den, an 8-episode video mini-series about student life, academic programs, and campus culture.
