Since we are on the topic of selfies, watch my video below that I created in college as a communication major. Down to the wire and nearing the due date, I checked out equipment from my college department and lugged it to and through campus, and ultimately on the Amtrack for hours over Easter Weekend 2014. I did not play about my grades. My younger cousins were home for the holiday, and they became my interns for the day.

Two degrees within fours years, and she graduated on time? Ohhh she's cute and she's smart. Haha.

Which camera do you use for posts?
- Canon T3i - It's my old faithful that I got during my junior year of college. Fun fact: Photos from this camera helped me secure a photojournalist internship with University Housing at NC State University.
- If I'm not taking photos on my DSLR camera, then my photos were most likely captured on my cell phone, Samsung S7 edge.
What is your dream career?
While my post grad career has consisted of community relations, lately my interest has piqued in the public relations and marketing field. Writing, brand management, marketing and promotions reflect my innate skills, and I welcome related opportunities! Email me!
What is your favorite movie series?
I seriously can't pick just one, because there were two movies from series that I loved to watch with my parents. The Equalizer with my mom, and Shaft with my dad.
What is your favorite book?
The Alchemist. I first heard about this book in an interview Oprah did with Pharrell where he praised the book. It was probably my only leisure read in college, and it did not disappoint. The fictional book follows a boy on his journey to reach his personal legend, and reminds one of the trials and tribulations that come with pursuing your destiny.

What is your favorite beauty product?
A bold red lipstick. It doesn't have to be name brand as long as it's bold and beauTiFFul, then I'm fine. I've actually found a $3 matte red lipstick that lasted all day. Be on the lookout for posts on the beauty page to stay in the know.
What is your favorite sneaker?
Currently, it's the Jordan Flyknit Elevation 23 sneaker in red. It might be underrated, but I definitely boss up when they're on my feet. Plus, they're very comfortable and serve as a reminder that you don't have to compromise style for comfort.
