I'm a Communications student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, studying Advertising with a minor in Business. My coursework spans strategic communications, research methods, advertising strategy, and social media listening, a mix that keeps me thinking analytically without losing sight of what makes a message actually work.

In Spring 2025, I studied abroad through CIEE in Berlin and Copenhagen, focused on International Business, Management, and Entrepreneurship and Startup Culture. Living and studying across two cities, each with a distinct approach to innovation and brand-building, pushed me to think about audiences, culture, and communication on a broader scale than a classroom in Boulder ever could.

I currently serve as Brotherhood Chair for Sigma Chi at CU, where I plan and execute events, negotiate vendor contracts, and manage budgets for the chapter. Before that I held Vice-Social Chair, handling promotion and logistics for events across campus. Both roles built real skills in project management, stakeholder communication, and running things under pressure.

Last summer I interned at ALKU in Andover, MA, cold-calling 200+ consultants weekly in the pharmaceutical sector and consistently exceeding placement quotas. It sharpened my outreach instincts and gave me a feel for what it takes to get someone's attention fast. That experience reinforced a genuine interest in sales alongside marketing. The ability to build relationships, communicate value quickly, and close is something I want to keep developing. My tool stack includes Adobe Photoshop, Hootsuite, Meltwater, Audiense, generative AI workflows, and Claude Code.
