A little about me
I’m a senior studying public relations at Brigham Young University. I’m drawn to the way sports bring people together—and to the communication work that makes those connections stronger.
I’m especially interested in sports PR, brand experience, and the relationship between teams, fans, and their communities. I enjoy asking good questions, finding the human story, and turning research into clear, useful communication.
Open to conversations
