About
As a junior studying Communications and Political Science at Wheaton College, I am currently immersed in the dynamic worlds of PR and Research as an employee of Wheaton's Center for Vocation and Career. Simultaneously, I serve as the Call Center Coordinator for Wheaton IJM, blending my passion for effective communication with a strong sense of social responsibility. Finally, I am currently a Research Assistant for Dr. Theon Hill, Associate Communications Professor.
Through diverse experiences, I've honed my skills in strategic marketing and communication – a quality I believe sets me apart in the field. My academic focus on rhetoric reflects my dedication to the art of persuasive communication.
I find fulfillment in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of communications. Internships have been my gateway to staying updated on industry trends, allowing me to contribute effectively to both academic and professional spheres.
I am enthusiastic about leveraging my skills to make meaningful contributions to the field of communications, combining academic knowledge with practical experience.
Projects
I am expected to present my research on Alternative Rhetoric: “Poisonous Rhetoric and the Hopeful Alternative” at Central States Communication Association in April. Additionally, I designed a focus group to collect data and am now using that data to research changes to be implemented at Wheaton CVC, along with designing and executing a four-month marketing plan.
Experiments
I’m always working on something on the side.
Currently planning research on how religious organizations cover up sexual improprieties, specifically the Southern Baptist Church.
