A Little Bit About Me

I am a '22 graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati. During my time as a student, I was involved with intramurals such as sand volleyball, faith and service groups, and most notably was an event planner and marketing vice president of the Student Activities Council. This experience and my mom's professional history in the event industry have made me so excited to pursue it in my career. 

In my free time, I enjoy exploring local charm in the form of restaurants, concerts, and community traditions. Finding new places to hike or go on nature walks is a must, especially in the summer. And if I am doing a craft, most likely painting, I am in my happy place.
