About Me
Ohio State Alum
Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, I am a proud Ohio State University alum! I graduated cum laude with my B.S. in Psychology with minors in Business and Disability Studies in 2021. One of my favorite weekend activities is cheering on the Buckeyes no matter my location!
Zeta Tau Alpha Alum
During my time at Ohio State, I was part of the Alpha Zeta chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha! I served as the Special Events Chair, where I coordinated Greek Week events with other chapters and even performed in the Variety Show dance group. I also served as the External Philanthropy Chair where I helped coordinate philanthropy events with outside organizations, greek chapters, and students groups to contribute to raising over $60,000 for breast cancer research and awareness.
Avid Golfer
I have golfed since I was about 5 years old! I even grew up as a child watching my parents take golf lessons. In high school, I played on the Varsity team all four years and I went to the State Championship my sophomore year. This photo is of me before playing Firestone in Ohio for a junior competitive tournament. It's still one of my favorite hobbies!
Ireland Study Abroad
One of the best experiences of my life was getting to study abroad in Dublin, Ireland for 3 months in 2019! I even had an internship while I was there completing research on workplace bullying cases for the National Anti-Bullying Centre. I returned to Dublin in 2022 and hope that that's the first trip back of many!
