I am skilled in high levels of organization and quickly adapting to new responsibilities, which I leverage into implementing new systems, providing timely responses, and frequently taking on new responsibilities. I am a proud alumna of the Franklin College of Arts at the University of Georgia where I earned a BA in Sociology with a minor in African-American Studies with cum laude honors.
