I am currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Master of Business Administration student at Radford University. I graduated as a Highlander Scholar from Radford University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During this time, I designed and completed two research projects focused on invertebrate endocrinology that lead to both oral and poster presentations at international, national, regional, and campus conferences. Additionally, I used this research to develop a science outreach program, Radford’s Roach Roadshow, which I presented to over 100,000 individuals at museums, schools, and digital events across 42 states, as well as Ontario, Canada. I received prestigious Biology awards for my research and outreach efforts including, the Ruth Bricker Painter Award, a Radford University Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, the Presidential Research Scholarship, the Dean’s Biology Education Scholarship, the Radford University Undergraduate Biology Research Award, a Student Travel Scholarship, the Scarlet Mangum Award, and Radford University’s Honors College Capstone award. I also developed leadership skills, as a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician and the first female Chief of Radford University’s Emergency Medical Services, as President of the Biological Honors Society, Beta Beta Beta, and as a founding member of the Peer Career Coaches team at the campus Career and Talent Development Center. While in my last semester of undergraduate education, I participated in my first Marketing course and went on to win the BB&T Innovation Competition. This opportunity inspired me to bridge my science background with my newfound passion for business research, where I am currently using eye-tracking software to understand key aspects of novice versus expert decision making patterns. In sum, these experiences have allowed me to recognize my passion for Marketing research, analysis, and strategy. I am currently seeking employment as a marketing analyst in the Charlottesville, VA area.
