I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I grew up constantly surrounded by family, as most of my relatives live in Tulsa. Because of this, family is the most important thing to me. My mom is my greatest role model. I look up to her positivity, and her large, welcoming personality.
I was also greatly influenced by my volleyball coaches and teammates growing up. 10 years of competitive volleyball taught me the importance of taking the time and effort to do the small things and to do them right. Over time they stack up and become something more.
I went to the University of Oklahoma (BOOMER SOONER!), and I studied Public Relations with minors in marketing and nonprofit organizational studies. I also served as Social Chair for my sorority, Chi Omega, at OU and loved the creative outlet of planning our date parties!
