I was taught that life is a gift and must be lived to the fullest. Born to Southern parents and raised on a farm in PA, when it came time to go away for college, I decided to chase my roots from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. At UNC Greensboro I studied Interior Architecture for two years in which I had to the opportunity to design residential spaces and travel to Europe. However, my life long dream of being based in New York City finally came to fruition. I applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I was accepted and obtained my bachelor's in Visual Presentation and Exhibition Design. My career path is undeniably geared towards visual merchandising and retail display.

Growing up with a keen sense of visual aesthetics, I spent much of my free time designing and constructing small projects and mood boards that had visual appeal. This stems from my love of New York City, a place where I visited often throughout my life, and where I now reside. Ever since that very first visit as a child, I knew I wanted a hand in the design of the interior world that has arguably become one of the most prominent epicenters of fashion and design.
