INTRODUCTION…

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kansas William
Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
After spending a year at California Western School of Law in
San Diego, California, I realized that my passion and career
aspirations lie in more creative, person-driven career paths.
However, I do not regret spending a year devoted to learning
and understanding the law -- it taught me to think, act and
write in an entirely new way and contributes to some very
practical and useful knowledge to apply to everyday life
situations. At this time, I seek employment in the marketing -
advertising - public relations arena. I have excellent verbal
and written communication skills, and very strong
interpersonal skills. I am collaborative, passionate, hard-
working and determined to succeed.

FUTURE DREAM JOBS…

1.! Anchor, Commentator or Producer for ESPN.

2.! Chief Marketing Officer or CEO of a professional sports team.

3.! Product Designer for a major athletic apparel company.

4.! Chief Marketing Officer or Public Relations Executive for a major athletic
company.

5.! Associate Athletic Director for marketing and sales at a BCS university.

6.! Advertising Sales Account Executive for the PGA.


WHAT I’LL DO…

I will do the jobs others will not. I will
approach each assignment determined and
with an open mind. I will treat all co-workers
with respect. I will work hard to not make
mistakes. I will work nights and weekends. I
will do anything, sacrifice anything for the
benefit of the company. I will start each day
with a smile and end with one.

VIDEOS THAT INSPIRE ME…

#1: Inspirational Sports Video
A contemplative, yet riveting montage of sports-
related images and icons. It highlights the mental
necessities to succeed. The main reason I love this
video is that it goes far beyond sports -- it carries a
bold message about life in general.

#2: Jimmy's 1993 ESPY Speech
This is perhaps my favorite speech of all time. I try
to listen to it often and be reminded of the fortune in
my life. Having a family member currently battle
Cancer and having lost close family and friends to
the disease, it also resonates to me on a personal
level.

#3: Motivational Video
"If you've never failed, you've never lived" -- I
especially enjoy this video because it illustrates
how anything is possible, if you keep trying. In life, I
believe it is paramount to never let anyone tell you
what you can or cannot do

#4: Rules for Success
Steve Jobs outlines his rules to success -- which he
believes lies in utter passion and love for what you
do -- and I could not agree more.

#5: Speech
Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday delivers an
emotional, inspirational speech that equates life
and the game of football as "a game of inches" and
the answer to winning at either is the will to do it
and to trust in your teammates or those around you.

grade 11 percentage points between the 2 semesters."
