Our students are one piece of what makes PR at Belmont special. Throughout the semester, we will be featuring our students as they share “Why PR?” and more.

Major & Minor: Public Relations/ Sports Admin

Why PR?

I always knew I wanted to do something creative, but I wasn’t sure exactly what I could do that was still practical. I took my first PR intro class after transferring to Belmont, and I loved it! I love being able to work in a creative field that still is left-brain enough for me – I’m super analytical and type A, but still love having fun with creating a brand’s story.

Favorite memory or favorite thing about PR at Belmont? 

The community is amazing! I love the feeling of going into the first day of class and seeing people I know and recognize in the class. Plus, all the professors are always ready and willing to help.

Career aspirations or goals

Honestly, I’m not sure yet… I think I’d like to work for an agency after I graduate in December just to get a feel for all different types of communications. I’d love to work in sports since I’m a huge sports fan, but who knows!

Hobbies, fun facts, or anything else that would be cool to know about you!

I am a huge book nerd and a Mexican food connoisseur (if you ever need recommendations, HMU). I am a dog lover and the biggest Titans fan out there!
