I'm a creative director based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I previously ran KLSU Radio, LSU's nonprofit student-run radio station. I managed a staff of over 45 students, including specific oversight of a 15-person executive staff.
In that position, I accomplished several milestones. Our social media engagement increased by over 98%, we saw record attendance at our College Radio Day event, recruited the best student talent on campus, and raised the single largest amount of money in a single day in the history of the station during our 2025 annual fundraiser.
I also took care of building out an entirely new website for the station, trained the entire staff to follow FCC guidelines, and instituted the station's first AI policy.
I got hired at KLSU as a News Reporter and covered several issues in student and local government, including interviewing Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome.
After a single semester, I was promoted to Productions Assistant, a role that allowed me to truly begin to flourish at the station. I worked much more on the technical side. I managed our catalog in programs like iMediaTouch and did lots of audio editing and engineering in Adobe Audition. I also did lots of creative writing and voiceover when producing sweepers and underwriting spots for the airways.​
I've been a presenter at the College Broadcasters Invitational in Seattle, Washington, on panels like Curating the Sound of Your Station and the Station Managers Roundtable.​
Alongside KLSU, I had many extracurriculars. For ImprovLSU, I managed their social media for the better part of two years, and have been a lead in both the promotion and cast in the School of Theater's production of God Gun!, a play that is half scripted/half improvised. With the troupe, I have performed at Boomerang Comedy Club, The New Orleans Comedy Festival, and more.
I graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication with a focus in public relations and a minor in Screen Arts. My academic journey has instilled in me a commitment to excellence, while my active involvement in campus and community initiatives has honed my communication and strategic engagement skills.
Now that I've graduated, I'm eagerly seeking opportunities to launch my career in production, creative management, and media through the rest of 2025 and in to 2026.
