Undergrad: The University of Mississippi 

Attending the University of Mississippi was more than just an academic experience; it was a place where my passions for storytelling, servant leadership, and digital media truly took shape. Though I couldn't have known it at the time, every organization I was involved in helped lay the groundwork for the work I'd go on to do at the White House. 

​

From serving as an orientation leader and coordinator to giving campus tours as a four-year ambassador -- and eventually leading the largest student organization as its director -- I learned the power of collaboration, leadership, and storytelling. 

​

My success as a student led to an incredible opportunity to work with the university's marketing team, where I became the first-ever student selected for the "Leave Your Legacy" campaign. My feature and story was showcased in admissions books given to students, and a postcard version was mailed to every high school junior and senior in the state. Through this experience, I saw how storytelling could be seamlessly woven into marketing; how a compelling narrative could lead to connection and influence a major decision in someone's life. 

​

It was in 2020, during the first-ever completely digital Homecoming campaign, that everything clicked. Running for Homecoming King in the midst of a global pandemic pushed me to embrace the full potential of digital storytelling. That campaign was more than just a personal milestone; it was a crash course in how narratives, visuals, and strategy can break through noise online and make an impact. 

​

Each of these experiences strengthened my ability to lead, create, and connect. These were skills that ultimately paved the way for my time at the White House, where I would  take storytelling and digital media marketing to the national level.
