I grew up in Elgin, Illinois, in a sports-loving family, which sparked my passion for athletics. I played college basketball at Northern Kentucky University (NORSE UP!) and later worked in public accounting before returning to sports as a college basketball coach.

While coaching, I saw a major gap in social media coverage for my teams. I took matters into my own hands—creating accounts, designing graphics, and capturing authentic moments. This passion led me to become the Creative Director for The University of Tulsa’s athletic department, where I ran social media for all 16 sports, designed daily graphics, and even picked up a camera to shoot everything from football to rowing.

After an incredible year, my fiancé and I moved to Sacramento in 2023 to be closer to family. Now, after more than a decade in college athletics, I’ve found what I truly love—and I can't wait to share my experiences, knowledge, and work with you!
