I was raised me in western Kansas by two parents along with my younger sister.  We both attended a local private school and I was involved in drama, choir, and yearbook as yearbook editor.  Senior year, I began attending classes at the local community college for dual credit.  In May of 2012, I graduated high school valedictorian of my class.

After high school, I continued at Colby Community College, and in late August was selected to a Colby Community College Presidential Scholar.  in early September I was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, and was appointed Vice President of Leadership soon afterward.  During my second full year of community college, I joined the CCC Show Choir and starred in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof."  During that same year, I joined Phi Beta Lambda and was elected Chapter President with which I traveled to Nashville to compete at the National Leadership Conference in public speaking and impromptu speaking.  In May of 2014, I graduated with an Associates Degree in business and another in Art.  

I graduated from Kansas State University with a Masters in Architecture.  As Plot Club President, I sat on the Dean's Student Advisory Council.  While on campus, I was a member of various groups, committees, and clubs on campus.  In January of 2016, I joined the staff of the local college radio station for my specialty show "Thoughts From Nowhere."  During the summer of 2016, I began an internship for Architect One in Topeka, Kansas which continued  over Christmas break until January 2018. Studying abroad in Orvieto, Italy during the spring of 2018 was a pivotal experience to my education. Graduation came in May 2019, and soon after I accepted a position in Dallas, Texas with Corgan.

My time in Dallas was in Corgan’s Critical Facilities department working on a project team working with a series of clients masterplanning new projects and expanding existing projects.
