Hello!

 

Being a young adult who is working a job and living the life of a student is exactly how it sounds-amazing. And takes exactly what you think-adaptability.
Since I was 8-years-old, I have been picking up and moving. Places such as Gretna, NE, Greeley, CO, Buffalo, NY, Laramie, WY, Orlando, FL, and since five years ago, Lincoln, Nebraska. This has given me the opportunity to learn how to adapt, network, and build relationships in multiple (new) environments.
I've wanted to be apart of the creative industry since I was a freshman in high school. Not only for the creative side of things, but because of the relationships you build along the way. Now working in the sports industry, this is ever-true. It's not about me in any aspect, as much as it is about those who you're working for and with. I am passionate about what I do and the work I produce but more so about who the work is about.
Starting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I've started pursuing a degree in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in entrepreneurship. The most enjoyable side of things is doing work in class and linking it to real-life scenarios. I have never been more passionate about the work I do in class because it is easy to see the correlation between class work and the work I would do for a business or company. I hope to learn these skills and one day apply them to help others.
I'm forever thankful for the opportunities that have presented themselves, thankful for those who've come into my life and excited for the future!
