I thrive on challenges, live with purpose, and survive with a sense of humor.
​
I am a Graduate of the Heavener School of Business (at Warrington) at the University of Florida, with a Major in Business Administration and a specialization in Mass Communications. I am a proud member of the Golden Key International Honors Society as well as Tau Sigma Honors Society, and I also appeared on the Dean’s List.
​
I also graduated from Santa Fe College with my Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration on May 1st, 2015 with High Honors (3.91 GPA). I was a member of the SFC Honors Program and Phi Theta Kappa International Honors Society (2013-2015), and I also appeared on the Dean's List from 2013-2015.
​
Additionally, I am a former Data Center Operations evening supervisor for Florida Citizens Bank (FCB merged with Harbor Community Bank in March 2016). Having worked there for over 9.5 years (August 2006-March 2016), I have learned valuable skills in leadership, customer service, teamwork, and organizational skills.
​
Beginning as an outside sales representative (Account Executive), I rose through the ranks of the Sales Department of Gillen Broadcasting Corporation (WYKS-FM Kiss 105.3 and WAJD-AM 1390 Gainesville’s Smooth Jazz 98.9). I received a promotion to be the House Account Executive after just a few months. Most recently, I took on the role of General Sales Manager to assist Gillen Broadcasting in reaching sales goals, creating and maintaining new sales proposals and strategies, aided in marketing the radio station to the surrounding community, voiced several commercials for air play, streamlined the order process, and managed company deposits as well as accounts receivable.
​
I have been commissioned as a Florida Notary Public as of January 2017, and I am an avid supporter of the Alachua County Humane Society and local pet rescues.
​
I enjoy learning new things, being creative, networking and building lasting relationships, and I live for conquering each challenge I’m faced with. I believe in working hard to reach goals, and I like having a full schedule of things to accomplish. I am passionate about many topics, and I love to multitask. I am curious about everything, and I find myself seeking to understand as much around me as possible. I find that my purpose is to help others, both professionally and personally. I want to help people, businesses, and brands to reach their full and utmost potential.
My interests include writing, reading, marketing/promotions, photography, art, biking, hiking, and music. I also love helping animals, collecting quotes and song lyrics for every occasion, learning about the world around me, and experiencing new places.
I aim to be an inspiring, courageous leader to work with/for. I hope to establish a personal brand that both aids the world around me and enriches my own life.
