I'm a fun, self-motivated, outgoing individual with a passion for theatre and advertising. I work hard to be the best I can be in my chosen field and am proud to have a position at a theatrical advertising agency after receiving my Master's Degree in Strategic Communication from the University of Missouri. I love that I get to use my education and focus in school to be able to combine my two loves into an exciting career in the theatre marketing world.
