About
<p><strong id="docs-internal-guid-d65cebb3-7fff-b602-4a24-7669dc065176">I’ve always been fascinated by strong communicators, but I didn’t know this was a career field. I happened to join a program called the Boyd Initiative which was designed to expose minority talent to the world of media and advertising. This led me to pursue a degree in Media and Professional Communications, specializing in Digital Media. Coming out of college, I worked at a tech startup that was undergoing a merger. This formally exposed me to branding and marketing. In my second role, I learned about executive communications and event management. It gave me a chance to create strong client relationships and learn critical skills in project management and branding and positioning. Now, as an account executive, I continue to use these acquired skills on a larger scale with some of our nation’s biggest brands. When I started in this industry, I had no roadmap. I learned everything that I could via podcasts, Youtube, articles, etc. As I grow in my career, it is my mission to help others like me break into this industry. Not only that, a lot of young people like myself do not even know this industry exists! I’d like to bring awareness to the industry and give the people coming behind me the tools to excel in their careers.</strong></p>
