About Me

I graduated with honors from Michigan State University in 2023 with a degree in Experience Architecture, which gave me key skills in design, content strategy, and digital communication.

When I'm not creating stunning social content or analyzing metrics, you can usually find me cooking, sitting by the lake with a book, cracking jokes, making very specific playlists, or looking for the best chocolate cake in Chicago.
