My love for hospitality, food, and experiences was inspired by my childhood. I grew up on my family farm and a sense of respect for food and community was instilled in me through family, 4-H work, volunteer opportunities, and community events. I am a self-declared sugar aficionado who believes that the quality of your day can be drastically transformed with baked goods and a positive outlook on life. While my focus on the hospitality industry has always been the little moments of joy seen from backstage, I am looking to advance my career and be able to provide endless moments of joy from center stage. I am pursuing a degree in Hospitality Management with a focus on Lodging and Real Estate with the hopes to work in Hotel and Restaurant Development after graduation.
