In PRSSA she is the service committee head and the account executive of the Women to the World account under Creative Consultants. She works at Raising Cane's and was able to talk to the owner about doing the billboard outside for the first Tumornators percentage night. She also convinced the Rasing Cane's owner to do Tumornators percentage night once a month, as well as Women to the World once a month. The service committee is going to focus on the Tumornators, as well as selling the GA/FL t-shirts.
