I take pride in being hardworking, personable, and determined, qualities that have shaped both my leadership and professional journey.
—
Through the Clifton Strengths Institute and the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program, I built skills in leadership, business, and collaboration. Professionally, I gained experience as a Social Media Marketing Intern with Active Minds, where I managed campaigns with MTV, ambassador announcements, and national events. I also worked at Redz Urban Table, where I strengthened my adaptability and customer service skills while managing marketing projects and high-volume operations. On campus, I held leadership positions in Sigma Phi Epsilon and founded the Big Red Bags Cornhole Club, which challenged me to grow as a leader and problem-solver. I am eager to join an organization where I can make a positive impact and apply the knowledge I’ve gained.
