Student-athlete and media studies major blending storytelling, PR experience, and leadership to drive impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a University of Virginia Media Studies student, student‑athlete, and emerging communications professional with hands‑on experience in public relations, marketing, and multimedia production. I have consulted for clients at a New York PR agency, led athlete‑driven storytelling projects, and produced video features that increased organizational visibility.
As a competitive swimmer and team leader, I balance rigorous training with academic success and organized events, demonstrating strong time management, project coordination, and stakeholder communication. I bring measurable results—brand analyses that informed strategy, a 32% visibility increase for UNCUT UVA, and consistent academic honors—while prioritizing collaboration and purposeful storytelling.
