Majoring in Marketing, Minoring in Recreation And Tourism Management
Georgia Southern University, Class of 2025
From Monroe, GA
As a recent honor graduate from Parker College of Business, I earned my BBA with a concentration in marketing and a minor in recreation and tourism management. I had the pleasure of being a Sports Marketing/Fan Experience Intern for GSU Athletics during my senior year. During my enrollment at Georgia Southern University since the Fall of 2021, I was on the Dean's List for six semesters and the President's List in my last semester. I also received several scholarships, including the Giacomo Family Memorial, Honors College Continuing Student, Presidential, and Zell Miller. In the Fall of 2022, I became an active Gamma Beta Phi Chapter member. I have volunteered with Serve912 at the local thrift stores and worked alongside my sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, by donating items to the University Food Bank and raising money to support our philanthropy of Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. This active involvement in community service and philanthropy reflects my well-roundedness and sociability. I recently received recognition from the Georgia Southern Office of Career Development and earned Ready Day 1 Certification. I will begin a three-month summer cohort at the World Trade Center Savannah in Marketing and Programs immediately following graduation. I was recently accepted into Jack N. Averitt College of Graduate Studies at Georgia Southern University to pursue a Master of Science in Sports Management. In addition to being a full-time student, I have honed my customer service skills through three seasons of work in the hospitality industry, specifically in concierge and food and beverage services, at Ohoopee Match Club in Cobbtown, GA. This club, rated one of the top 100 private golf courses in the U.S., serves members and guests worldwide. As a vital member of the guest relations team at Ohoopee, I have developed exceptional customer service skills that enable me to create memorable experiences for our members and members' guests. I recently enjoyed working FOH for The Master's at Augusta's East at the exclusive Berckmans Place. Joining the Operations/Hospitality team at Berckmans Place meant I could immerse myself in this remarkable tradition and witness an exciting new chapter in Master's history. My passion for mixology and hospitality enhances my commitment to providing a world-class environment where every interaction is designed to improve members' enjoyment and satisfaction.

Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA)
The Zeta Xi Chapter at Georgia Southern University was established on April 27, 1968 in Statesboro, Georgia. Since then, the chapter has grown to be one of the most well-known organizations on campus! Zeta Xi is responsible for raising over $85,000 annually for our philanthropy, Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. The chapter holds annual events to support our philanthropy such as a male beauty pageant called Big Man On Campus (BMOC), our Strawberry Sale, Pack the House in Pink GSU basketball game, Tormenta soccer game, Pink Power Run, and "Think Pink! Drink Pink!" lemonade stands around campus. The Zeta Xi chapter is full of passionate, smart, and beautiful women who are devoted to, not only our philanthropy but, one another. We came to college to find our place, but what we've found in ZTA is a home away from home, our best friends, and our sisters.
