I was born and raised in Twinsburg, Ohio, which is a small town that shaped my values and fueled my aspirations from a young age. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a Buckeye, and today I’m proud to be living that dream as a student at The Ohio State University, majoring in Consumer and Family Financial Services. My academic path is rooted in a deep passion for helping others. I’ve always been drawn to the idea that financial education and guidance can be powerful tools for improving lives. Whether it's helping families plan for their future or supporting individuals through financial challenges, I believe in making financial wellness accessible and achievable for everyone. Throughout my time at Ohio State, I’ve embraced opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others who share a similar drive to make a difference. I’m continually inspired by the people I meet and the lessons I learn, both in and out of the classroom. As I look ahead, I’m excited to see how I continue to grow personally, professionally, and as a future leader in the financial services field.
