Having a passion for Communications and desire to work in this area, I have attained a Bachelor of Arts degree in mass communications at North Carolina Central University.   I have seized opportunities to learn about the many facets of media, visual communications, journalism, and public relations.

My previous internships have afforded real world experience in various areas of audio-video production, news gathering and reporting, programming, and digital media. I have written publications, blog posts, and used other social media platforms.  I was rewarded for my high academic achievements in communication and English with inductions to the respective honor societies.

Because of my keen interest in Mass Communications, I desire an opportunity to learn from those who have expertise in the industry while simultaneously using my creativity, initiative, and enthusiasm to manage projects.  I work well as a member of a team as well as independently. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills.  I am proficient with the computer, well organized, and skillful in reporting data accurately.  I am confident and will give 110% effort to produce quality products.  I am ambitious, motivated, and very eager to learn how to use my talents in a proven manner from professionals.
