M.S. in Mass Communications, Sports Concentration

Oklahoma State University | Stillwater, OK

In August 2024, I began a graduate assistantship supporting the communications department at Oklahoma State University.

As a graduate teaching assistant, I’m living and studying for two years in Stillwater, Oklahoma and gaining knowledge and connections that will open me up to my future in the field of communications.

I’m thrilled to be a Cowboy and study alongside the brightest minds in my field!

My Assistantship Duties

In Fall 2024, I utilized my podcasting background to consult, edit, and schedule for the Odd Fellows Podcast, an initiative from the Media Ecology and Strategic Analysis (MESA) Group.

I’ve also worked with Dr. Jinger Bernhardt as a teaching assistant in her Mass Media Style and Structure course for undergraduates.

Another duty of mine is to direct community efforts for Media House, a living and learning program for underclassmen in the School of Media and Strategic Communications. I plan, lead, and manage events as I get to know the students living in Media House.

In Spring 2025, I’m switching gears and fulfilling a crucial administrative role in the School of Media and Strategic Communications. I’m considered one of the top graduate assistants in my class, and it’s an honor to be placed in the position of greatest need for the spring semester.
