In May 2023, I graduated Cum Laude from Ball State University with a B.S. in Interior Design. Additionally, I recently completed my MBA through The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. During my five years of school, I played Division I tennis for Ball State (2019-2023) and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (2023-2024).

My design philosophy centers on the idea that the spaces we inhabit play an influential part in how we feel and thrive. I strive for my designs to make a meaningful impact by creating user-centered environments that enhance both well-being and functionality.
