Magnolia Blues Agency
Progression from Casting Director to Editor-In-Chief has been one of the most formative experiences of my career. Starting as a Casting Director gave me an understanding of what it feels like to be on the other side of the creative process, all the way to leading the entire production of the magazine as Editor-in-Chief.
Square Magazine
Fashion Panel
As Outreach Director and founding executive team member of Fashion Panel at the University of Mississippi, I helped build the organization from the ground up during its inaugural year in 2025. I led all outreach efforts — forming partnerships, connecting with campus organizations, and securing the relationships that made our vision possible. Together, we brought the first collegiate runway show in Ole Miss history to life, which was a milestone not just for the organization but for the university's creative community as a whole.
A snapshot of the academic work that shaped my approach to integrated marketing — research-driven, creatively executed, and built to solve real problems for real clients.

Photography Portfolio
Photography has always been a creative outlet for me — a way to capture moments, people, and places through my own lens. My work covers both portrait and landscape photography, with a focus on strong composition, thoughtful lighting, and a clean, cohesive style. I enjoy the full process, from planning a shoot to editing the final image, and I bring the same attention to detail to personal projects as I do to client work.
