I am a journalism/strategic communications major in the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. I am a passionately aspiring public relations professional and journalist with experience in both fields. Being a published writer, editor, and generally a diligent worker, I have a strong history of consistently meeting consumers' needs. My goal and passion in life is to provoke thought with my words. While I believe I possess the skill set to do so, I also believe that there is always room for improvement and growth. That is why I will never stop trying to better myself so that I am able to provoke thought in the most effective ways possible, and for whatever purposes need be.
