I graduated from Clemson University with a BFA in Visual Arts in 2020 and graduated from Converse University with an MAT in Art Education in 2023.  

I taught art at Riverside Middle School as a long-term substitute in 2022-23 as I completed my master's degree and taught art at Robert Anderson Middle School in Anderson District 5 in 2024. In the fall of 2024, I returned to my home community to teach art and ceramics at Blue Ridge.

I married my high school sweetheart in January of 2024, we welcomed a little girl in August 2025, and we have one very spoiled dog named Chloe.
