Since I was a kid, I grew up around the magic of themed experience design. I knew from a young age that it was a world I needed to be a part of. At this young age, I was always crafting and designing and sending off my work to all the big names in the industry, hoping they would be willing to put an 8-year-old girl in the big leagues.

As I got older I started to immerse myself in the community of these experiences by working at the Houston Zoo learning animal and park operations in 2018, and then later in 2023 getting the opportunity to work at Walt Disney World in the Disney College Program, learning about industry standards and theme park operations. Until ultimately landing myself at my dream school Ringling College of Art and Design where I now major in Entertainment Design and minor in Graphic Design.

Since my youth, my life has been built around dreams. The dream of making it in this industry, the dream of changing people's lives and making them feel something. My ultimate dream may be designing, but my true passion is people. In the process of making my dreams come true, I am given the opportunity to do so for others. If I had to choose one thing to set me apart in this industry, it is that my passion drives me to do better, to create more, and to BE more. My passion is the fuel that drives my creativity, and I am excited to see where it will take me next.
