Bio

A highly motivated and creative individual with over 10 years of management experience- 5 of those years at a high performing, award winning location. This experience enhanced skills such as: customer and public relations, project management, training and education, problem solving and leadership abilities. In addition to the skills honed through work experience, I have always possessed an aptitude for technology, and a deep love of both learning and research.

After the 10 years I spent working, I made the decision to complete my degree at Western Illinois University. Since I've resumed perusing my undergraduate degree my GPA has consistently improved, to the point where I now qualify for several masters programs. My academic performance at WIU over the past few years has been recognized with memberships to Phi Alpha Theta (ΦΑΘ), as well as Golden Key International Honour Society. 

My personal hobbies include photography, thrifting, spending time with my fiancé, playing video games, playing table top strategy games, writing, reading, studying languages, and traveling when I can. I also enjoy practicing yoga, hiking with my dog, informal cultural studies, as well as informal historical research.
