Ballet BFA & General Business Minor at Texas Christian University | John V. Roach Honors College

United States

About

I'm a sophomore at Texas Christian University in the John V. Roach Honors College, pursuing a BFA in Ballet with a minor in General Business. I've trained and performed pre-professionally in classical and contemporary ballet for over a decade with Pacific Festival Ballet, Ballet Austin, Ballet West Academy, Boston Ballet, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, and currently The School of Classical and Contemporary Dance at Texas Christian University. I'm now channeling that discipline, stage presence, and audience instinct toward a career in product marketing and digital/social marketing. The skills that make a performance land such as reading your audience, telling a clear story, executing with precision under pressure are the same skills that make a brand resonate. I am currently exploring product marketing, brand strategy, and social/content marketing roles. [email protected] | TCU Class of 2028, John V.
