About Me

I am the newest public relations account executive at 180 Communications, a Tallahassee-based firm specializing in national/international sports business PR.

Additionally, I'm an avid blogger, social media enthusiast and passionate PR pro who loves engaging with others both online and off.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Florida State University in May 2010 with a dual-emphasis in media/communication studies and creative writing.
