Currently, I am a Chief Mass Communication Specialist in the U.S. Navy Reserves and an intern at The USS ADAMS Museum as a public relations assistant.

My passion is storytelling. I love hearing other people’s stories and then sharing them with others. In today’s market there are so many ways to share stories, whether it be through social media, entertainment, multimedia projects, community relations, etc. The sky is the limit, and I am excited to be a part of this new world of communication.
