PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO
About Me
I am a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington double majoring in English and public sociology with a concentration in professional writing. I have completed three internships and will be receiving my Professional Writing Certificate soon after graduating in May 2020. I would describe myself as creative, hard working, and organized. I am in search of full-time job opportunities to better local communities throughout North Carolina. This website's intent is to provide more of an insight into my professional experiences, specifically focusing on my three internships and my portfolio samples.

I attended all four years here in order to obtain my Bachelor of Arts in English and Public Sociology. I also obtained my Professional Writing Certificate during this time. I was fortunate enough to make it through four hurricanes and a pandemic while still graduating on time. During summer 2018, I was able to study abroad for a summer session in Prague, Czech Republic.
