About Me

I was born and raised in Louisville, KY, but more recently am working in Chicago, IL as an Assistant Account Executive.

I graduated in May of 2023 from the University of Kentucky with my Bachelor’s in Integrated Strategic Communication and minors in Psychology and Art Studio. I practiced various creative forms from graphic design, to photography, to video editing, tied up in a bow of strategic thinking!

As I have grown personally and professionally, I have found myself willing to tackle just about any task — if I don’t already know how to do it, I’ll learn it. This attitude has led me to evolve my skillset into a well-rounded toolkit that allows me to work through any project that comes my way.
