I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and have grown to completely love the city. I have attended St. Edward's University, also in Austin, for the past 3 and a half years while pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Communications. My focus in the Communications program is Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations. Social Media and Internet for PR, PR for Non-Profit Organizations, and Advertising Campaigns are some of the courses I have excelled in. Outside of my academic studies I enjoy playing women's fast pitch softball, spending quality time with family and friends, and taking care of my two animals, Skyla and Puma.
