I grew up on 500 acres in rural upstate New York, so a lot of who I am today comes from that environment—animals, quiet, long drives to town, and a lot of time with my family. My parents and my older sister shaped my values early: work hard, be kind, take care of people, and stay curious. Volunteering at a weekly meal program with my mom taught me empathy in a way I’ve carried into adulthood.

I studied Business Entrepreneurship at the University of Tampa because I’ve always loved creating things and understanding how they work behind the scenes. After graduating, I started in high-end custom apparel, where I learned how to build strong client relationships and be someone people can depend on. Now, I’m the Operations Manager at 2 Cumberland in Charleston while also working independently with Blue 84.

Creativity is a big part of my life—jewelry making, furniture flipping, knitting, crafting. I love being an “old soul.” Everything I do, whether in business or life, comes back to the same intention: stay consistent, stay compassionate, and create something meaningful.
