About Me

Graduating in May 2010, I currently rock the house at Ferris State University. I’m majoring in Technical and Professional Communication, which is, to put it succinctly, professional writing that delivers. Though I have built my skill set through TPC, my heart lies in PR.

Working in Higher Ed PR for Ferris State, I'm published on the Ferris State University News Services Homepage, the Points of Pride newsletter, Ferris Magazine and in the local newspaper, The Pioneer Press of Big Rapids, Mich.

I'm a bundle of raw energy, ideas, and creativity that is up for any challenge you throw at me. I enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, and testing boundaries. I've been described as "spunky" on so many occasions, it's becoming scary.
