I am studying journalism strategic communication, minoring in marketing and earning a certificate in social media at Ohio University through the Scripps College of Communication. I am a senior with an expected graduation in December 2025. 

I was fortunate to grow up in two places that shaped my formative years. I spent my early childhood in Knoxville, TN, surrounded by the Smoky Mountains, before moving to Athens, OH, where my parents attended college—and later, so do I. My love of reading has been a constant source of creativity throughout my life. I particularly value time spent with friends who recharge me and help foster personal growth. I enjoy learning from those around me, as I believe there is great value in real experiences and the stories that come with them.
