Personal Statement
Hi! I am an energetic, challenge-seeking undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill double majoring in Advertising/Public Relations in the Hussman School of Media and Journalism and Economics with a minor in Spanish for Business. I thrive in collaborative, diverse environments that empower myself and those around me to inspire a delivery of high-performing content, strategies and brand identities. Growing up across the river from the melting pot that is NYC, I have been exposed to different people with differing opinions that has allowed me to be well-rounded, remain curious, and satisfy my desire to constantly learn new things and spring ideas into action.
My interests have led me to have an array of experiences with a primary focus on Business Operations, PR, and Branding Strategy for consumer brands. By valuing consumers, fostering new ones and a goal to achieve what a brand desires, these experiences have allowed me to bring proficient skills gained to my future career when taking a fun-filled and outgoing attitude to new, demanding environments.
The Basics
I was born and raised in the Garden State of New Jersey and have grown up with the gorgeous view of the “Big Apple” at my fingertips. Here is where my fascination began with capturing the views around me as well as my obsession with skylines.

History
I attended an all-girl Catholic high school in the most diverse city in the United States (Jersey City, NJ). Here is where I learned to be the accepting, inclusive and empowered woman I am today. While in high school, I was very involved in my community by being a varsity three-season athlete in cross country, swimming and diving and outdoor track and field. Within the school building, I was heavily involved in Student Government, Student Ambassadors and several National Honors Societies. Because of my success inside and outside of the classroom, I was awarded over $700,000 in college scholarships and ultimately chose to continue my academic career at UNC Chapel Hill.
hello
Present-Day
During my time at Carolina, I have become involved in UNC Swim Club, Carolina Women in Business, Undergraduate Finance Society, Relay for Life, and Dive IN. I have also gained experience and skills in analyzing, researching, filming, editing, strategizing and pitching new ideas with creative views to those around me. My past internship experiences have led me to pursue my interests and post-graduate goals of working in the consumer goods sector doing either business operations or public relations. Continue to join me in the development of my art through writing, class projects, photography and the newest edition of my blog “Divin’ In”!
