What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that fosters growth, creativity, and collaboration.

As a recent graduate from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Integrated Marketing Communications, I have honed my skills in sales, marketing, and communication. My academic achievements, including graduating summa cum laude and receiving multiple honors, reflect my dedication and passion for the field. I have a strong foundation in digital marketing, public relations, and creative visual thinking, which I applied in various roles throughout my education.

In my professional experience, I have worked as a Personal Trainer at BodyByEMS, where I tailored fitness programs and built strong client relationships. My role as an Executive Assistant at Scarborough Real Estate allowed me to develop my organizational and negotiation skills while managing communications and assisting in sales processes. Additionally, as a Social Media Manager at Préservé Market, I created engaging content and analyzed marketing metrics to enhance brand awareness and customer engagement.
