Professional
I am a 19-year-old enrolled at UNC as a double-major in Linguistics and Media & Journalism on the Advertising and Public Relations track.
I’ve always enjoyed being creative and have gone out of my way to do so, whether it be taking a whole day to shoot pictures to make an Instagram post I find funny instead of writing a paper, or even something as simple as going the extra mile on school projects. Through my life, I’ve been able to maintain a strong belief in always letting my personality shine through in each and every assignment.
Through largely impulsive decisions such as these, I’ve had experience in editing together videos, creating and directing skits, running small-scale photoshoots, making music, putting together art pieces, designing infographics and advertisements, and writing silly essays.
In the future, I hope to pursue digital storytelling in the form of advertising. Whether it be through campaigns or commercials, I know very well that this is my passion.
Personal
I am a Classic Tetris professional (former rank 26 in the world) and a Taekwondo hobbyist (current high-green belt). On top of this, I am firmly addicted to reading manga in pretty much all my free time, as well as my work time (oops). I have a deep love for all sports, with particular care for basketball and volleyball. Although, soccer and tennis are amazing too.
My favorite manga, by far, are One Piece and Vagabond; my favorite streamer/TikToker is MylesTG; and my favorite band is Cactus Dayjob.
