Communication and Integrated Media Major
I chose Heidelberg because of the people I met on my visits.
I majored in Communication and Integrated Media because I enjoy telling stories through different mediums.
A major challenge I encountered while at Heidelberg was making the decision to step away from basketball, and I handled it by becoming more involved in other organizations on campus and finding internships that put me in the best spot after I graduate.
The best opportunity I discovered at Heidelberg was the opportunity to announce baseball, basketball, and football games.
Outside of the classroom, I was involved in the Sports Information Department, Cru, Basketball, the Honors Program, and a Marketing Internship with Parkhurst Dining.
The thing I am most proud of about my Heidelberg accomplishments is making the Dean's List each semester and graduating with Honors.
One faculty or staff mentor or advisor who impacted my 'Berg experience is Dr. Robin Heaton because she was always supportive as a professor and advisor over the last four years.
My advice to new freshmen would be to get involved in different groups, teams, and organizations. It's important to meet new people and expand your network.
My favorite Heidelberg memory is spending time with friends and participating in different events around campus.
My plans after graduation are to continue working in public relations and media within sports.
