Who I Am

About Me

I'm a senior marketing major at Wilmington University graduating May 2026, and I've spent the last several years doing something most students haven't — managing a full-time team while carrying a full course load.

As a former Food & Beverage Team Leader at Target, I handled staffing, payroll, vendor partnerships, and in-store marketing strategy — applying the consumer behavior and brand principles I was studying in real time.

Now as a Social Media Intern at the Langston Hughes Community, Business & Resource Center, I'm putting that foundation into nonprofit marketing — building digital strategy for an organization that actually matters to its community.

I'm early in my career, and I see that as an advantage: hungry, adaptable, and already building a track record most people don't start until after graduation.
