My life has followed a familiar rhythm: curiosity, connection, and the quiet spark that shows up when people and ideas collide in just the right way. I grew up in a middle-class home in Kentucky where I was encouraged to explore—whether that meant digging into history, figuring out how video game puzzles with my brother, or challenging myself through sports. I wasn’t always the strongest, but I had a knack for learning quickly and pushing myself with quiet consistency.

As I got older, I realized how much I valued ideas and people. In high school and college, I found myself surrounded by mentors, friends, and communities that pushed me and challenged how I approached the world. I studied philosophy, leaned into my faith, and learned how to sit with complexity rather than force answers. My time working at Disney World taught me how to be my own person, how to be present in service, and how to build strong relationships even in fast-moving environments.

These days, I work in software development, blending strategy, design, and brand thinking to build tools that help businesses work better and communicate more clearly with their customers. I’m especially drawn to the intersection of product and marketing—where thoughtful design and messaging can shape not just how something works, but how it’s understood and experienced. I care deeply about building with purpose and helping people feel a little more seen, supported, and understood.
