Hi! I’m primarily attracted to the fields of health and interpersonal communication. While at OU, I am interested in exploring the effects of persuasive messages on the ways adults and children adopt healthy/unhealthy eating and exercise behaviors. I am also interested in exploring how health messages can be adapted to better meet the needs of audiences/patients with varying cultural backgrounds. After obtaining my degree, I am interested in pursuing a career exploring the nutritional effects of communication through research and advocacy.
I am from Garrettsville, Ohio and recently graduated from Hiram College also in Northeast Ohio with a B.A. in Communication. I try to always have time for my friends and family. I am the oldest of four siblings who I love very much. My passion is running, but I also really enjoy laughing at, I mean working-out to, exercise videos from the 80’s.
