A Bit about me
Here's A Glimpse At What You Should Know
People are my passion and my 'why' to everything that I do. My primary career goal is to challenge the current culture of public relations as a new age of informed, tech-savvy and socially aware consumer demographics emerges. An informed global citizen, my purpose as a public relations professional is to protect, empower and serve underrepresented groups; I hear them, I value them, and I fight for them. My minor in human relations equips me with a unique background in sociology/social theory that is a defining characteristic of my work. The future of public relations is ethical, reflective organizational decision-making and my mission is to spearhead this effort.

Experience Highlights
Carnival Corporation and LLC
2019 - Global and International Public Relations Course
I wrote a crisis communications campaign for Carnival Corporation in an integrated graduate and under-graduate public relations course and was named best campaign by Senior Vice President & CCO, Roger Frizzell. The campaign goal was to discover innovative ways to relaunch the cruise industry post-COVID. My campaign carved new channels for clear internal communications, held plans to care for first-line workers, and prioritized consistent expectations, messaging and mutually-beneficial relationships. Mr. Frizzell noted that the crisis communications agencies hired by Carnival for post-pandemic relaunch failed to address issues with internal communications entirely.
Oklahoma State House Representative Mickey Dollens
2019-2020 Oklahoma State Captiol
I was hired by Representative Mickey Dollens in November 2019 to monitor social media presence, edit and co-write public statements and speeches, and aid policy research for clear dissemination of complex information to affected publics. My most fulfilling responsibility was taking proposed bills and creating handouts for committees and constituents delineating policy functions in digestable terms for all citizens, actively removing barriers to civic engagement. I worked closely alongside Representative Dollens and a multitude of tribal nations in Oklahoma to address issues concerning missing and murdered indigenous peoples and women (MMIP/W), resulting in the passing of Ida's Law named in honor of Ida Beard, a missing member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
