THE CHALLENGE
Earning my MBA was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. Balancing a full-time career with graduate studies required focus, sacrifice, and a deep sense of purpose. There were moments of exhaustion and doubt, but my determination to finish never wavered. That journey strengthened my confidence, sharpened my leadership skills, and reminded me that perseverance truly does pay off.
Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication

THE FOUNDATION
When I left home for college, I wasn’t entirely sure what the future held—I just knew I wanted to help others learn and grow. I started as an education major, but my time at Winthrop University introduced me to new experiences that broadened my perspective. I realized that storytelling could be another powerful way to educate and inspire, which led me to pursue a degree in Mass Communication with a focus in Broadcasting. That discovery sparked my lifelong passion for using communication to inform, connect, and make a difference.
