aspiring pr professional

I chose American University to pursue both the arts and broader academic interests, leading me to declare a dual degree in Theatre and Public Relations. Over my four years, I've taken classes in PR writing, crisis communication, graphic design, events, and more.

For my senior PR Capstone, I worked with a team of four to develop a campaign for Spindrift’s newest flavor launch, Spindrift Cherry, bringing together four years of training and earning strong feedback from the client.

I’m drawn to PR because it builds on my background as a performer while allowing me to shape how stories are shared and increase arts accessibility and reach. I’m especially interested in theatre communications and hope to eventually grow into an Artistic Director role. I graduate in May 2026, and am seeking part-time opportunities in theatre communications and administration.
