Experience

Education
2016 — 2020
Troy University
B.S. Broadcast Journalism
Minor in Spanish

My journalism foundation is the backbone of everything I do — from writing copy that sounds like a real person to knowing exactly how to frame a story for the right audience. Studying broadcast journalism taught me how to move fast, communicate clearly, and capture moments that matter. The Spanish minor added a layer of cultural fluency that shapes how I approach community storytelling across diverse audiences.
