Farewell, Mizzou.

On May 13, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Missouri School of Journalism with a Bachelor of Journalism, an emphasis in Strategic Communication, minors in Business and French and an Honors Certificate.

The people I met throughout the past four years are what shaped my college experience. Between my time at MOJO Ad, Kappa Alpha Theta, Mizzou American Advertising Federation and Mizzou It’s On Us, I am incredibly grateful to have grown alongside such talented, inquisitive and passionate peers and mentors, all of whom were formative to the person I am now.

Not only have I had the opportunity for real-world experiences like my capstone MOJO Ad, through the Missouri Method, I have genuinely enjoyed myself along the way, thanks to my peers and professors who challenged me to reach my potential.

A special thank you to my professors Jon Stemmle and Jamie Flink, who were pivotal to my experience on MOJO Ad, my fellow capstone teammates and the friends who have stuck by my side since I was a nervous freshman.

M-I-Z forever!
