I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma, and I have loved growing up in the OKC metro!
My mom has been my biggest influence, always encouraging and supporting me along the way. Competitive cheerleading also played a major role in shaping who I am, teaching me the importance of hard work, perseverance and showing up for a team. Those experiences stayed with me throughout my time at Oklahoma State University, where I earned a degree in Strategic Communications with a focus in Marketing. I was also involved in Gamma Phi Beta and the Association of Women in Communications (AWC), organizations that helped me build lasting relationships and grow both personally and professionally.
