My Story
My plan was to be a sportswriter. The focus changed, but the desire to communicate did not. It rolled into college PR and has grown to conveying the mission, vision, and needs of a Christ-first university. Finding ways to serve and unite people around a common purpose brings me joy. I get to help others invest in students’ lives. That gives unlimited ROI possibilities.
