Pleased to meet you! I am a 24-year-old student from Atlanta, GA. I am a Mass Communications Major with a double concentration in broadcasting and public relations at the illustrious North Carolina Central University. I am passionate about whatever I put my mind and heart into.

I have been involved in many organizations on campus, ranging from Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, National Black Journalist Association,  Black College Business Women Connection, Student Activities Board, NCCU Life, Nothing but the Arts, and Curve Appeal Modeling Troupe.

​

I have a wide variety of skills starting with: photography, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere, graphic design, broadcasting, social media, public speaking, and mixology. I am looking for any part-time and full-time jobs where I can expand my knowledge in my skillsets, as well as learn new skills.

​

I started my journey to success in high school. Beginning with an internship at Datway Entertainment, I assisted with a radio show called Datway Radio on Highly Unique Radio App. I also became a copy editor and the head journalist of the yearbook during my junior and senior years in high school. I earned a certificate of completion from Barbizon Modeling and Acting School and interned at No Selfies Photography as an assistant.

​

 In my collegiate years, I became a photojournalist for Spectacular Magazine in Durham, NC, and became an assistant and photographer at QMF Modeling and Talent Agency. I interned at Duke University in the OIT Department and I also volunteered at WNCU radio and Audionet on campus. When available I worked for Cato Fashions as a sales associate and served as a social media representative for Skyy Level Media Communications in Atlanta, GA.
