Grew up at a Tennessee lake, currently working on an Arizona desert golf course, living the dream 2x

 

After grad school I spent time working in sports PR including the NFL and college baseball and men's basketball. Once NIL took over all aspects of college sports, I moved to Arizona to look for other opportunities. Moving across the country by myself was (the scariest but) best thing I ever did. ​

​

I started out at Life Time and got connected with someone at Marriott and have been working at Camelback Golf Club since October 2025.

​

I graduated in May 2022 with an MBA from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I earned my undergrad degrees in 2020, double-majoring in Communications and Sports, Outdoor Recreation, & Tourism Management. I ran cross country and track and represented the Southern Conference at the NCAA Convention in January 2022. In March 2021, I was certified as a National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer.

​

In work and all my life, I really enjoy having so many opportunities where I can have a positive impact on others. God has brought me through a lot in life, and I have purpose every single day.
