I am a communications professional with wide and varied experience. I have served in the United States Army as a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief, a broadcast journalist, and a public affiars specialist. After leaving the Army, I was hired by Lockheed Martin as a marketing specialist and a social media coordinator. In that role I crafted marketing campaigns for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which is a part of the Department of Justice, and I also launched and managed their social media program.

Currently, I am a graduate student at New York University in the Public Relations and Corporate Communications program. I am also interning with the NBC Sports Group on the editorial staff of NBCOlympics.com.
