I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Oregon studying Public Relations at the School of Journalism and Communication with a minor in Theatre Arts. I currently serve as Vice President for the University of Oregon chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Previously, I worked as a Marketing Intern at the Hult Center for Performing Arts in Eugene, OR from 2020-2021. Most recently, I spent time at the Fulton Theatre, a regional theatre in Lancaster, PA, working as a Marketing and PR Intern during the summer of 2022. Beyond theatre, my passions include singing, reading, arts and crafts, and playing piano!

Feeling inadequate is something many students empathize with on a personal level. Between the shadows of self-doubt and fears of the future, it is no wonder college students hate to hear the question “so, what do you want to do after college?”

Many students thrive with a busy schedule while participating in multiple activities. But if you are like me and often find yourself struggling under the pressure, there is no shame in cutting back on your responsibilities. College burnout is real.
