Myself
I’ve always been a talker. I am an out-loud thinker, and I'm proud of it. I don’t see a use in keeping good ideas to yourself, maybe because most concepts that my brain develops usually come straight out of my mouth. I believe that for an idea to be executed well, you must be able to present the message verbally. I consider myself an expert communicator and a meticulous ideator who struggles to stay silent when I develop a good idea.
My Journey
My journey in becoming an avid storyteller, imaginator, and copywriter started in high school. Hailing from a small town in Southern New Hampshire, I was seemingly thrust into the biggest school in the state. I was a big fish in a little pond, and I decided it was time for me to become a shark. I went through the trials and tribulations, headlining on the football field and captivating audiences as an actor in musical performances. I was like a bizarro version of Troy Bolton, but it allowed me to build my communicative abilities and get a foothold in public speaking. My experiences eventually led me to write and host my very own professionally produced sports web series. After graduating from Pinkerton Academy, I planned to further my communication and writing skills at Syracuse University.
Since attending Syracuse University, my outlook on my passions has taken multiple twists and turns. I originally was pursuing a degree in Broadcast & Digital Journalism, in which I fielded and wrote multiple news stories while also developing scripts for radio sportscasts. Although I appreciated the adventures I had as a reporter, I longed for the ability to really flex my creative muscles. It was through a summer internship at a radio station that I was introduced to advertising and copywriting, and the pieces just fell in place after that. Since switching my major to creative advertising, I have felt the complete freedom to fully express my imagination. Over the course of my curriculum at Syracuse, as well as through professional-level opportunities via the TNH student ad agency and the AAF NSAC, I have accumulated a portfolio of creative advertising works with a focus on becoming a copywriter. I plan to enter the workforce post-graduation, and I can’t wait to experience the journey that unfolds.
