Within my first semester at the University of Georgia, confidently beginning my college career on the Pre-Pharmacy track, I came to the realization that my heart and passions were elsewhere. Bouncing around various degree options, I located my love for storytelling and people in the Terry College of Business marketing program. Nevertheless, shortly after, I discovered a yearning for creating, as I was drawn to the Lamar Dodd School of Art -- an entirely different world, it seemed...

At first glance, I had no idea how I would justify my choice to pursue polar collegiate fields; however, finding the sweet spot where art, business, design, emotion, and creativity blend together with such ease has been nothing short of inspiring.

After exploring sales and public relations with the incredible Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island team, I ventured to Fort Worth to expand my storytelling understanding with a data twist by entering the Horned Frog family at Texas Christian University as I pursued my Masters of Science in Business Analytics degree.

I value authentic stories and the vibrancy of new people and places: the ups and downs and ins and outs -- even the not so smiley bits -- of the lives surrounding me every day.
