Welcome! Thank you for visiting my site.
About Me
I am originally from a small town in Southern Indiana, but chose the University of Missouri to further my education after high school. I am currently a member of the social sorority, Tri Delta, as well as the business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. I have always enjoyed exploring new opportunities and driving myself to discover what the world has to offer. I have traveled all over the world to roughly 40 different countries and am hoping that my future degree in finance will allow me to explore opportunities abroad.
My Mission
It is my mission to live life to the fullest every single day of my existence so that I can develop into the very best version of myself. I want to lead by example as someone who is unapologetically herself in hopes others will feel empowered to do the same.

My membership in Tri Delta began in the fall of 2017. During my freshman and sophomore years, I was the Licensing and Apparel Design Director. In this leadership role, I was responsible for developing unique design ideas for my sorority through various apparel products, along with distributing purchased apparel to the members of my chapter.
Work Samples
Job Market Research Project
I have attached a document below containing job market research I gathered for one of my Finance courses in the Trulaske College of Business. This research report was designed to help students, like myself, gain a better understanding of the various job opportunities for students preparing for life after college.
Tri Delta Apparel and Design Products
I have linked below a document compiled of the various products and designs I created during my time as the Licensing and Apparel Design Director. The shirt pictured above is one of my favorite designs that I created for Tri Delta's letter-writing campaign. It is an annual fundraiser we host for our philanthropy, St. Jude.
MU ITC Summer Research Internship Project
During my international internship in Prague, Czech Republic, myself and three other students completed a data research report for the Caravel Group, which is a beverage company located in St. Louis, Missouri. It was our responsibility to gather important insights into the beverage industry in the European marketplace and determine if there was a potential for the Caravel Group to expand. The final report is linked below.
