M&E Communications Coordinator
Dallas, TX  |  Member Since 2011

I have moved one time in my life and it brought me to Dallas, TX. While finishing my degree in Communications at Ohio University, I was offered the opportunity to intern for Southwest.I have never packed my bags so fast in my life! After completing an amazing internship I was fortunate enough to get the best graduation present a college student could ask for, a job!I have worked on the Communications Team in Maintenance and Engineering since Sept. of 2010. My old home might be 2,000 miles away but when my SW flight lands in DAL, it's a great feeling to say "I'm home."
