ABOUT ME
I am currently a Strategic Communications - Journalism student at the University of Missouri striving to work in the field of Public Relations or Account Management in the Travel Industry. I am very passionate about relationship building, leadership, communication, creativity and new experiences. My big goal is to build a vast network and portfolio so I can pursue a career in the travel industry and freelance as well. This past summer, life lead me to New York City for a PR internship. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and loved immersing myself in all city life has to offer. New York helped me find myself, hone in on my strengths, and find out how to turn my passions into a career.
Personally, my favorite days are spent with family, friends, laughter and most definitely spicy foods. While I love living out my personal family/friend traditions, I crave travel and new experiences. I am a fan of all things KC, good movies, good music, good fun and living life.
My latest summer read and inspiration is The Lonely Planet Travel Anthology:
"As I have learned over and over, travel teaches us about the vast and varied differences that enrich the global mosaic, in landscape, creation, custom, and belief, and about the importance of each and every piece in that mosaic. Travel teaches us to embrace our vulnerability and to have faith in whatever energy we put into the world will come back to us a hundredfold. Travel teaches us to approach unfamiliar cultures and peoples with curiosity and respect, and to realize that the great majority of people around the world, whatever their differences in background and belief. care for their fellow human beings. And ultimately, travel teaches us about love. It teaches us that the very best thing we can do with our lives is to embrace the people, places, and cultures we meet with all our mind, heart, and soul, to live as fully as possible in every moment of every day. And it teaches us that this embrace is simultaneously a way of becoming whole and letting go," Don George.
