Title

Recruitment Publicist & Multimedia Specialist

My Role in the Honors College

I gather and create content for our blogs, website, Facebook pages and publications.

Educational Background

I’m a photojournalism major considering a marketing minor and planning to graduate in 2013.

Hometown

Owatonna, Minnesota

Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy taking pictures, producing multimedia, twisting balloon animals, cooking, taking my dog for walks and spending time with family and friends.

What Brought Me to the HC

I really knew very little about the Honors College before coming to WKU; what drew me here was the nationally-recognized photojournalism program. Once I started to experience the tremendous community and numerous opportunities of the Honors College, I realized that the Honors College at WKU is just as big of a selling point as our photojournalism program.

A Little About Myself

I love to wander- whether by walking through neighborhoods I don’t know or driving aimlessly over country roads. I dislike wearing a watch and hearing wall clocks tick. I wish it were acceptable to go through the day without knowing exactly what the time is. All relationships- whether with family, friends, co-workers or random people I meet- are of a high importance to me. After graduation, I hope to revolutionize how journalism is presented online. In the meantime, I will drink roughly a million gallons of chocolate milk and continue to get way too excited over trips to Sonic.
