Hey, what’s up?
A little about me
I’m a student at Roger Williams University double-majoring in Creative Writing and Public Relations. In beautiful Rhode Island, I am able to use my education to create impact in my community.
Outside of class, I’m reporting for the Hawks Herald, projecting Student Senate’s accomplishments and goals, or working on whatever might be next. I believe stories can change how people see the world, so let’s listen!

Double-majoring means living in two worlds — narrative and strategy. One teaches me how to tell a story that moves people; the other teaches me how to get that story in front of them. Both are exactly where I want to be, and I’m making the most of every semester.
