I am currently a junior, double majors in Strategic Communication and English at Washington and Lee University. Last summer, I interned for the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry in Washington, D.C., where I attended staff meetings, created memos, and drafted speeches for Arkansas Senator John Boozman. One of my most meaningful experiences was shadowing the Senator for a day. I learned his greatest responsibility is to make voices heard. At W&L, I write for the school newspaper, the Ring-Tum Phi, covering various events, organizations, and campus life throughout W&L and the Lexington community. Most importantly, I make genuine connections with students and members of the W&L and Lexington communities as I amplify their voices and stories. I also create digital media for the student health promotion organization, CampusWell. While targeting prominent campus health issues, I hone my media creation and communications skills to influence positive behaviors among students.

In the marketing, PR, and communications sectors, conversations and relationships can be transactional and manipulative. I strive to provide a genuine, human relationship that transcends the product or the business conversations. To me, meaningful work means helping others.
