Wilkes University, Class of 2017
From Easton, PA
Senior Communications Major at Wilkes University with a triple concentration in Strategic Communications/PR, Rhetorical Studies, and Broadcasting Production, as well as a minor in Sport Management, complimented by a second minor in Women's and Gender Studies. Upon Graduation I plan to pursue my interest in event management, specifically in and around the Sports and Entertainment Industry. Another field of interest that I would like to explore a career, in following my time at school, would be news broadcasting and journalism. Making connections with others and maintaining close-knit relationships with friends and family are personal skills and passions of mine. Finding a career that allows me to apply these values to my work throughout my life is a goal that I wish to achieve.
