    BA in Advertising | Self Summary As a recent graduate from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in Creative Advertising, I’ve always been drawn to the power of storytelling, bringing ideas to life in a creative, meaningful way.During my time in the advertising world, I’ve worn many hats. I’ve explored copywriting in an agency setting while also contributing to design strategy for growing brands. At a digital marketing agency, I worked across both the creative and strategic sides of web design —building visual identities while supporting the marketing efforts behind them. In a magazine environment, I grew from an intern into a social media manager, while also working on print advertising content. These experiences have taught me how to adapt ideas across platforms, balancing voice, visuals, and strategy to create work that feels cohesive and intentional.I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy. After graduation, I want to continue growing in the world of creative advertising, working in a space where I can craft bold campaigns and help brands create experiences people genuinely connect with.My creative switch is always on, constantly inspired by the world around me.

  • Physical Education TA

    William Fremd High School
    2020.08-2022.05(2 years)
    (1 year 10 months) Beginning in August of 2020, I was chosen, alongside 25-30 students, to learn the ropes of what being a leader looks like and the responsibility a TA has. Once this training concluded, I began actively leading a freshman gym class in fall of 2021, and became close with a lot of the students in the class. I was able to give advice as an upperclassman, and practice public speaking and being able to take control over a room. As a physical education leader, I assisted the teacher in leading a freshman gym class. This included setting up and putting away equipment, planning activities, and assisting in teaching health lessons. This was an amazing learning experience and I am thankful I was able to have this opportunity the last 2 years of high school.
