About Me

I am currently a junior in The University of South Carolina Honors College, where I am studying Visual Communications as my major and graphic design as my minor. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I still spend my summers. I love Milwaukee and the life I have lived there so far! I've been dreaming of my future my entire life, and it all started in MKE. I have 5 siblings, who you'll hear about in my writing, and I value family and community very much. I am passionate about my job as a Group X Fitness Instructor at USC, where I get to spread my love for fitness and work in a close knit community. I further love skiing, painting, hiking, and reading!
