Born and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, I’m a beach girl at heart — but I also love the mountains and exploring as many places as I can. I’m driven by my commitment to lifelong learning and excitement to try new things, whether it’s traveling to a new country, trying a new dish, or going on a spontaneous adventure. Now a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill majoring in Media and Journalism and minoring in Entrepreneurship, creation and innovation are at the forefront of my studies and future aspirations. I’m motivated to constantly push myself out of my comfort zone so that I can best prepare myself for my future career. After graduating in 2026, I hope to work in marketing, creative advertising, or graphic design.
