I'm a child of two entrepreneurs. I grew up in a household where I learned early on: failure is not final, fear is not fatal, and it's the courage to continue that counts.

I'm a graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH, where, while earning degrees in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Studies, and minors in Finance and Innovation, I learned quickly: I'm a creator. Entrepreneurship lies at the core of my being and I possess an inherent need to create something bigger than myself. 

I'm a Venture for America Alum (Fellow Class 2017) living in Charlotte, NC and working for a full-service marketing and creative agency, Knight Eady, where I'm continuously learning: when you start with the why, your action becomes more impactful.
