I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Hospitality Management and an Event Management concentration. Through my experience in hospitality, leadership, and events, I’ve discovered how much I enjoy connecting with people, being creative, and creating positive experiences for others. I’ve also been involved in Family, Career and Community Leaders of America since I was 12 years old, which sparked my passion for leadership and hands-on learning.
I’m excited for the opportunity to bring that same energy and encouragement into a Family and Consumer Sciences classroom.
