Educational and Professional Goals

My education at Wayne State University is shaping my career aspirations. In the short term, I aim to gain hands-on experience in journalism, marketing, and emerging AI-driven communication strategies through internships and collaborative projects. However, my long-term goal is more than a career—a vision to build a legacy as a content strategist, digital marketing professional, or AI-driven communications expert. I aspire to merge creativity with strategy to amplify important stories, harness the power of artificial intelligence in communication, and inspire meaningful change. I hope my journey inspires you to dream big and work hard to achieve your goals, just as I am doing.

Accomplishments and Experience

My professional journey includes over four years as a Certified Peer Support Specialist and Recovery Coach at Easterseals MORC. I honed my interpersonal communication, public speaking, and advocacy skills in this role. More importantly, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with diverse audiences, leading impactful discussions, and sharing stories that resonate on a profoundly human level.

Through my work and education, I have gained experience creating engaging content, crafting compelling narratives, and leveraging digital tools to reach audiences effectively. Additionally, I am interested in the intersection of AI and communication—exploring how artificial intelligence can enhance storytelling, optimize digital marketing strategies, and revolutionize how we connect with audiences.

Thank you for investing your time to learn about me and my journey. I sincerely appreciate your interest and hope my website reflects my dedication to communication and inspires others to connect, share, and grow through the power of storytelling and innovation.
