I was born and raised to a family in North Carolina who encouraged my endeavors athletically and academically from a very early age. Despite facing harsh adversity in both, I fought through severe injuries and honed my studies to receive an offer to play lacrosse at Hampden Sydney College. In 2023 I graduated cum laude with a bachelor's in business and economics, after which I continued to advance my academic career at Wake Forest University in the masters in business analytics program. I cherish time with friends, weightlifting, and playing the guitar in my spare time.
