Biography
Hello there!
I’m a North Carolina native from the small town of Zebulon, where Raleigh once felt like the big city. Since moving to Raleigh in my teen years, I proudly call it home. I’m the youngest of three girls and a first-generation college graduate. I earned my associate’s degree from Wake Technical Community College and my BS in Business (with a concentration in Marketing) from East Carolina University.
My first love was interior design, sparked by weekends spent watching HGTV with my contractor dad, an interest that quickly grew into a passion for graphic design. That creative path naturally led me into marketing, where strategy meets aesthetics.
Outside of work, I’m happiest spending time with family and friends (bonus points if there’s a sunny patio, wine, and cheese involved), exploring the mountains, taking photos, thrifting for hidden gems, getting creative with a new craft project, or hosting a cozy movie night.
I’m also slowly growing my vinyl collection one record at a time and maintaining an ongoing campaign to convince myself that getting a puppy is a practical life decision. 🐶🎶
