I am grateful for my undergraduate and graduate studies at Loyola and West Virginia University.
At Loyola, I received a Jesuit education that included a strong foundational core in addition to my major. From East Asian History to Introduction to Islam to the History of Cinema, Loyola provided me with a well-rounded skill set to bring to the workplace. My graduate program challenged me to think holistically about the field of communications. The digital era is here to stay (At least, for a while). |
Hands-on projects included:
Selections of my favorite projects can be found below:
- Wrote an analysis of my social media usage and how it fits with contemporary media theories
