I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Communications from The University of Tampa.

During the pursuit of my undergraduate degree, I was apart of The University of Tampa's advertising team during the inaugural year at AAF's National Student Advertising Competition. We were awarded with the 'Best Creative' distinction during the regional competition. This is the experience that ignited my passion for the creative process. I am apart of the national honor society Omnicron Kappa Delta.

I worked in the Education Marketing department of The Straz Center for the Performing Arts during my junior and senior year. The Straz Center is one of the largest performing arts complexes in the United States. I have taken many press photos for the Straz Center, and several of the photos have been published in local newspapers.
