Originally from Topeka, KS, my journey began right after high school when I moved across the country to New York City, and then later to Chicago and Seattle. I’ve become an expert at navigating cities, discovering must-try restaurants, the best ways to make new friends, and knowing the ins and outs of tourist spots. 

I know why you should never walk along 1st Avenue in Seattle but how you can get to the subway along 1st Avenue in New York City. 

Living in vibrant cities before finishing my master’s degree has helped me hone my organizational skills to enable quick synthesis. It has taught me the value of clear and concise communication.

Live theater helps me feel centered among the chaos and embrace my fears. Theater enables me to excel as a public speaker, a lifelong passion that I continually pursue.

Wherever I am, live shows and organizational skills better support my journey.

Back in the Windy City, I’m always on the lookout for new challenges and experiences that come my way.
