I am a resourceful and confident person, who although naturally an extroverted performer is also more than content with private study. I view PR/Marketing as a way to flex creative muscles and ability to read the public. Outside of my academic studies I keep myself very busy and living in Austin has only bolstered my interest in independent music, sustainable living and endurance sports, making sure that my schedule is always full of activities.
