After college, I hope to pursue my dream of working for an international agency and
traveling around the world. I have worked accounts with international clients to
provide creative insight to improve their relations. One day I hope to work in
an agency dedicated to partnering with clients globally. I believe this dream will
diversify my skills and network in the future.
Interests: My hobbies include photography and marketing for small businesses and
clients. I find happiness in providing creative insight to bring solutions to businesses
and clients in need. Especially due to the COVID-19 virus, many businesses have
closed. I have found enjoyment in providing assistance to improve online communication
with their audience. For the 2020-2021 school year, I will be the president of
the WVU Media Coalition to work with outreach for all independent and dependent
student organizations under the Reed College of Media. I will continue as the Digital
Media Director for WVU PRSSA, return as the Event Planning Chair for TEDxWVU, and
be a part of the Media Team for the Mountaineer Maniacs.

I love being a healthcare strategist. The healthcare industry continues to evolve by the minute, which fuels my competitive nature. While the healthcare industry provides many challenges, I strive to always possess the profitability skills of a Magic 8-Ball to merge digital tools and value-based financial arrangements while improving the customer-clinician experience. My career goal is to be one of the best chief strategists in healthcare.
I find happiness in working on initiatives that positively affect the lives of so many. There are an endless number of companies out there, but I have tried to focus on who and how many benefit from the output of my work.
My time at West Virginia University provided many applicable business skills, for which I still use today. I would encourage everyone to study the fundamental principles and emerging trends of their chosen industry.
Interests: I enjoy boating, attending live music performances (coffee shop, amphitheater or arena, it doesn’t matter), trying to find the perfect pizza, playing guitar, visiting family in the Mountain State, and cheering on WVU athletics.

cheering on WVU athletics

I am currently in my dream job: leading a team of talented communications and marketing
professionals at a terrific university. I hope that I can continue to do a job
that I love using the skills I have gained over my career and from my time in the
IMC program at WVU. I would love to retire early and do consulting at some point
-- with flexibility to live anywhere in the country.
Interests: When I'm not at work, I prefer to be outdoors, ideally hiking or reading
on the deck, or engaging in one of my creative outlets: photography, painting,
sewing, and writing.

I recently began a new career within an incredible company. I hope to spend a few
years at Cardinal Health and grow with the company, with the goals of learning
new skills and becoming a more well-rounded communicator. However, long-term I
aspire to become a professor. I have a unique background including television news,
public affairs, public health, and now corporate communications. I am extremely
passionate about learning and education, and I would love to bring what I have
learned through my experiences to help students fulfill their career goals.

It’s really exciting to create content for a brand from blogs, social media, marketing
campaigns, to internal communication documents. My IMC degree really prepared me
to wear a lot of different hats. For other career aspirations, I do hope to publish
a nonfiction novel at some point in my life. Finger’s crossed I believe in myself
long enough to sit down and write more than three chapters.
Interests: I am currently really interested in cooking, taking long walks, and
reading rom-coms.
