    Activities and Societies: Radio DePaul, DemonTHON

    I began my college career at DePaul University in 2011 with a concentration in Animation. After realizing that I was more interested in advertising, public relations, and working with different clients on a variety of business-based projects, I switched my major to Public Relations & Advertising. I finished my degree in this field with a 3.84 GPA, and completed a minor in Animation as well. I was heavily involved in Radio DePaul, and was awarded the Outstanding Leadership Award by DePaul for my…

    As the General Manager of Radio DePaul, I partnered up with the leaders of the DemonTHON charity at DePaul University to help advertise and promote the big event.

    When an undiscovered medical condition reconnects the estranged Nedla brothers, they commit to finding a cure, no matter the cost. Their journey into different practices of medicine and self-discovery brings them both more questions than answers. Will they defeat the mysterious condition they've coined "the slipping"? How far can they push themselves when there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel? Is it too late to make up for lost time, and to right the wrongs of their pasts?

    When an undiscovered medical condition reconnects the estranged Nedla brothers, they commit to finding a cure, no matter the cost. Their journey into different practices of medicine and self-discovery brings them both more questions than answers. Will they defeat the mysterious condition they've coined "the slipping"? How far can they push themselves when there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel? Is it too late to make up for lost time, and to right the wrongs of their pasts?
    And, perhaps most importantly- who will they see when they look in the mirror?
