About

I’m an aspiring communications professional who enjoys building long-lasting relationships, influencing with a strategic approach, and promoting things that I can personally stand behind. With several years of experience working in professional and agency environments, I am adaptable due to the constant change in work; I work well on a team due to the collaborative environments; and I take initiative due to my strong work ethic and desire to improve the company I work for. A few years ago I created my Instagram page @tstastesandtravels, which helped me discover my passion for communicating with others, specifically through a digital format. My Instagram allows me to explore and discuss my passions which include traveling, cooking, the outdoors, and the list goes on... Social media platforms serve as a vital tool within my own brand, and I hope to use the knowledge and experienced I’ve gained through my personal, educational and professional endeavors to help serve your brand as well.
