Public Speaking

I began public speaking for cancer awareness when I was 9 years old. Since 2013, I have given nearly 100 speeches around the country. I have assisted numerous organizations in their fight to end childhood cancer, including: Hyundai Hope on Wheels, UNC Children's Hospital, Make-A-Wish, Reelin' For Research, Beat Childhood Cancer, St. Baldrick's, and more. I intend to continue public speaking until children are no longer losing their lives to cancer.

Journalism

Journalism

I began my love for journalism while taking part in numerous press tours prior to college. I was given assured admittance into the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media in 2021. I have since taken several courses that have furthered my love for the subject, such as: Sports Journalism, Audio Journalism, Media Ethics, Principles of Ad/PR, History of the Black Press, Writing and Reporting, and Foundations of Interactive Media.

Film

In my second year of college, I began taking screenwriting courses, as I have always had a love for film. I began to minor in global cinema and decided to study film for a semester at Stockholm University in Stockholm, Sweden. I look forward to to furthering my involvement in the media world.
