About

I'm an advertising major at the University of Georgia's Grady College, with a background in reporting. Advertising and journalism ask the same first question: what is this actually about, and how do you say it so people read to the end?

Most of my recent work is on the marketing side. Through the Global Career Accelerator, I built a Shopify storefront end to end and ran the digital marketing behind it, from keyword research and SEO in Semrush and Google Trends to A/B testing, conversion-focused landing pages and branded email flows. I also write copy as an intern for Devon Review.

My reporting is where the writing habits come from. In Reporting I, I covered an Athens-Clarke County commission vote on the data center moratorium, ran a Q&A with Oconee State Bank’s Cayce Reese on community banking and reported on SCLPT Studio, a boutique fitness studio at maximum capacity in its first year. At a January ICE protest at the Tate Student Center, I worked in photo and cutline form, where the caption carries the reporting.

At Infusion Magazine, I started as Section Editor for Fashion and Beauty in fall 2025 and now serve on the executive board as News Director. Coursework in Law of Mass Communication and Media News and Consumers shaped how I think about ethics, sourcing and audience.

Reading The Associated Press on my phone has trained me to strip opinion from a story and lead with verified facts. The New York Times has shaped my sense of transparency through its public corrections and the bylines that explain how reporters cover beats. I carry those habits into copy and marketing work.
