My Story
I grew up in rural southeastern Oklahoma, in the heart of the Choctaw Nation. My parents and grandparents have always pressed upon me the importance of a good work ethic. Starting in elementary school, I applied myself in every way possible. I discovered passions in geography, language, writing and learning.
When I was a freshmen at Eastern Oklahoma State College, I discovered the wonderful discipline of mass communication. Strategic communication held a huge appeal to me. I am currently studying public relations at the University of Oklahoma. Drawing influence from my tribal heritage, community is one of my strongest values. My people, the Choctaw, are a generous people who always help others. It is my hope that this community value will show in my work. It isn't about what my team can do for me but what I can do for my team and, ultimately, the community. |
