A Midwestern at heart, I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a B.A. in Journalism and a B.S. in Psychology in 2013. I returned to my alma matter in 2017 to pursue a master's degree in Digital Media & Storytelling in order to hone in on my video production and post-production skills.

I pride myself on being a hard worker who will always go the extra mile to be successful, and I understand that things are always changing in the digital world and I am willing and able to roll with the punches.

#WorkLifeBalance

When I'm not working I love being outdoors-- whether it be running along the lakeshore path, hiking, swimming, or going to the dog park with my two adorable pups. I also enjoy watching documentaries, catching up on my favorite TV shows, reading the most up-to-date news and yes, surfing my social media channels.

I'm passionate about the environment and animal welfare and am a self-declared foodie who enjoys cooking and checking out local farmers' markets.
