What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow professionally.

As a dedicated student at the College of William & Mary, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English and Psychology, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.92 and graduating summa cum laude. My academic journey has been enriched by my participation in the CEA CAPA program in Seville, Spain, where I explored urban education policies and leadership practices. I have been recognized for my creative writing skills, receiving the Carlton Scholarship and the Glenwood Clark Prize for Fiction, which reflect my commitment to excellence in my field.

My professional experience includes a Digital Media Services Internship at the Jamestown Yorktown Foundation, where I contributed to various digital media projects, including photography and film production. I also wrote historical scripts for educational videos, enhancing my storytelling abilities. Additionally, my role as a Field Ambassador at William & Mary allowed me to hone my customer service skills and collaborate effectively with peers to ensure a positive experience for event participants. I have also served in leadership positions within my university, including as an Orientation Aide and Pledge Coordinator for Alpha Phi Omega, where I developed my organizational and mentoring skills.
