I was born in San Diego, California into a military family. Because of this I experienced various moves both in the nation and internationally. After moving around for most of my life, the last high school I attended was Forest Park High School in Woodbridge, VA. At Forest Park I was a part of the National Honor Society, and eventually graduated Cum Laude honors.

After graduating, I continued my education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I am currently a rising Senior and am studying Packaging Systems and Designs, a new major on campus under the College of Natural Resources and Environment, while also working towards a minor in Psychology. I am a part of several student organizations including my fraternity, Lambda Phi Epsilon, which takes part in many philanthropic activities. These include, but are not limited to, Greeks Giving Back, Big Event, Relay For Life, and Bone Marrow and Blood Drives.
