About Me
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies with a concentration in Mass Media. I have a passion for anything involving digital communication whether it is advertising, marketing, management, or social media. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Business Administration degree. I hope to use the skills I learn from this program to move into the project management field.
I currently work for Spectrum Reach in Charlotte, NC as a second-level Traffic Specialist. I have worked with both traditional television advertising as well as online advertising. My responsibilities include quickly and accurately processing advertising campaigns for our clients and fulfilling orders. I am also a part of the User Acceptance Training program that ensures all updates to our industry software are stable and ready to be distributed to partners. Programs that I have extensive experience with include SalesForce, FreeWheel, xG Linear, Innovar AdCopy Wizard, Showseeker Pilot, and Microsoft Excel.
I was hand-picked by Spectrum Reach's executives to be part of a new product and technology testing team. In early 2023, we successfully launched Spectrum Reach's Single Platform Provisioning program for our streaming TV service. Being a member of this team has allowed me to gain valuable knowledge on how projects are managed and how to effectively lead team members when goals are unclear.
I have a small engineering background, having come from a high school PLTW STEM program and I have held two internships with the engineering firms McKim & Creed (2017) and Hazen & Sawyer (2018). I believe that it is important to learn how to do routine maintenance on household appliances and vehicles. It is not only interesting to learn how things work, but I find that it is very rewarding to successfully fix a product.
My passion outside of work is playing music. My principal instrument is trumpet but I also play a little of piano for composing and arrangement purposes. I frequently play in Charlotte Pride Band's concert band but I'm most excited to be a founding member of CPB's jazz band! Swing and funk music is some of the most interesting and fun music to play and I am glad that I have the opportunity to play with this new group of musicians.
On the weekends, you can find me in the morning studying at Salud coffee shop where I will subsequently move to the bar downstairs to watch Premier League soccer. I'm a big Liverpool FC supporter. In fact, the first EPL match I ever watched was Liverpool vs. Manchester United where Liverpool went 7-0. Since then, The Reds have been my favorite club (but Arsenal is also cool). Of course, I also support Charlotte FC! I try to go to every home game that I can!
