Missouri State University

Senior, majoring in Marketing Advertising/Promotions


Discovering creative solutions is my passion. As young professional, I take everyday as a learning experience as I develop my knowledge in marketing. Collaborating with other talented individuals is always an enriching experience.


“As this is my first year with the I2P program, I didn’t know what to expect. The challenge at hand seemed almost impossible to tackle. Thankfully, I was able to learn and enlighten myself on topics I hadn’t normally sought out in the past and now I feel like I have tools enrich and educate others.”
- Jared


Our project is important because it makes the tough topics we bring awareness to digestible. When you discuss the factors that lead to radicalization to white supremacist extremism, it can feel overwhelming. I believe my team and I were able to develop a campaign that stimulates healthy conversations, provides great avenues for community support, and education.
