ABOUT ME:

I am a current senior at the U studying Mass Communication.  I have lived in Salt Lake City for 3 years but originally from Canton, Ohio.  I am a die-hard Cleveland sports fan and have become well acquainted with the phrase “there’s always next year.” I also enjoy music, playing guitar, golf and anything technology.

I work for Apple as an At-Home-Advisor and I’ve spent the semester as an intern for Apple’s College Adovcate Program, recruiting Utah students for available positions.  After graduation, I plan on pursuing a career with Apple, hoping to someday be a part of their Marketing Department.
