About Me
I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations and a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) certificate. Throughout my time at UF, I developed a passion for strategic communication, cross-cultural engagement, and building meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds.
My experiences inside and outside the classroom have allowed me to explore the intersection of communication, education, and global learning. Through public relations campaigns, leadership opportunities, language education, and cultural immersion experiences, I have strengthened my skills in communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and adaptability while learning the importance of understanding and connecting with different perspectives.
As I begin my career, I am excited to continue combining my passions for communication, education, and cultural exchange to create authentic connections and positive impact wherever my journey takes me.
