ABOUT ME

I was raised in Mississippi and graduated from Petal High School in 2013. Following that, I attended Jones County Junior College on tennis and academic scholarships which is where I found Jesus, discovered my passion for global Christian missions and decided to major in Public Relations in order to link my future with those passions in a practical and meaningful way. I graduated from JCJC in 2015 and started at USM the following fall, where I began my Public Relations journey with a minor in French. I interned with the Point Church in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in the summer of 2017. I helped with their everyday tasks, helped organize mission teams who came to volunteer and promoted the church by word-of-mouth throughout the university campus and city. I also volunteered with the Baptist Medical and Dental Missions in Hattiesburg, MS. I was able to work some under their public relations professional and learn from her about social media and event planning, while also doing random tasks for them around the office weekly.

On a personal note, I also love sea mammals and traveling. I've been to Thailand twice, Canada, several fun states in the U.S. and this summer I plan on going to India and France. I enjoy dancing, hanging out with my friends or family and reading outside in the sun.

My Work

I hosted a product party for now Love Justice International, formerly known as Tiny Hands International.

My Facebook Event page:

I helped with the setting up of and the organization of the conference event. I also greeted people who came and gave them information.

My friend hosts bible retreats at her grandparent's cabin. I help her plan them, create Facebook events and promote them and sometimes create invites for her to hand out to people. This is one invite I made for a retreat.

This is a flyer for a tea party I helped my friend plan to raise money for summer missions.
