I was raised on a fourth-generation dairy farm in northern Maryland. I was an active member in the Parkton 4-H club, Maryland State Dairy Princess program and Maryland FFA Association. These experiences allowed me to fuel my passion for agriculture and public speaking. I enjoyed giving milk toasts, facilitating workshops, speaking with politicians, holding interviews, and presenting speeches to large groups. I attended Towson University for two years and became a Florida Gator at the University of Florida in 2014. After graduating from UF with a Bachelor of Science Major in Telecommunications and a Minor in Agriculture Communication, I returned to Maryland. The Mill, a one-stop local shop, opened a Multimedia Designer position for me. I also started a small agritourism business and joined the Spring Grove High School Girl's Soccer coaching staff. I later became the Marketing Director for the company. In the fall of 2019, I decided to pursue my business, The Farmyard LLC, full-time. I continue to offer freelance marketing services to local businesses.
