Originally from Fitzgerald, GA, I have lived all over this great world of ours. After graduating high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps and was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. During that time, I deployed overseas to several countries in Asia, Africa, and South America.

At the end of my enlistment, I enrolled at my dream school Mercer University in Macon, GA to study political science. During college, I interned at American Embassy Oslo, Norway, studied abroad in Eastern Europe, and conducted a service learning project in Peru. I also created a radio show, political talk show, and made some amazing friends.

After college, I ran for political office. While not successful, I was proud of my team and what my campaign stood for. Following the campaign, I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research in Moldova where I currently reside.
