The First Draft

I started my bachelor’s degree at the University of North Texas in the Fall 2015 semester and graduated one semester early in the Fall 2018 semester. I was originally enrolled as an Art Major, but I quickly switched to Journalism and fell in love with advertising.

Undergraduate Degree Highlights:
For my bachelor’s degree, I decided to pursue an advertising concentration. As part of my degree plan, I had the opportunity to participate in a few application-only courses, including The Advertising Industry in New York, Advertising Campaigns Competitions, and the Advertising Portfolio Capstone, and I participated in the SWOOP Agency Practicum as an Art Director.
