Summary

I am a student at the University of Oregon majoring in journalism with a minor in entrepreneurship. I enjoy writing and photography and hope to use those strengths throughout my career. This past Fall, I completed an internship abroad with Mon Parnasse in Madrid, where I gained hands-on experience in social media, content creation, and PR. I have previously improved customer experiences, maintained an organized store environment, and handled transactions with reliability and care. I take pride in creating a friendly, supportive atmosphere and bringing strong communication and creative skills to every role I take on.
