My educational path reflects the same way I’ve built my career: practical first, strategic always.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Faulkner University, which gave me a strong foundation in how organizations operate, how decisions get made, and how business strategy has to connect to real-world execution. That base helped me understand early on that marketing does not exist in a vacuum — it has to support growth, operations, and long-term business health.
As digital communication began changing the way brands and consumers interact, I continued my education through the University of Florida, where I completed a Mini Master’s in Mass Communication with a focus on Social Media ROI. That experience sharpened my understanding of digital audience behavior, platform strategy, and how communication was evolving in a more immediate, more public, and more relationship-driven environment.
Later, I completed my Master of Science in Marketing at Southern New Hampshire University. That was where everything came together at a deeper strategic level. My graduate work covered areas like consumer behavior, marketing analytics, integrated marketing communications, strategic internet marketing, multinational marketing strategy, and the ethical and legal dimensions of the field. More than anything, the program reinforced the kind of marketer I wanted to be: someone who can think strategically, work creatively within constraints, and build marketing systems that are both adaptable and accountable.
Taken together, that educational journey gave me more than credentials. It gave me a framework for how I approach marketing today — balancing business fundamentals, modern communication strategy, analytics, and brand building in a way that is both creative and measurable.
