I grew up along the shores of Lake Erie in the small town of Oak Harbor, Ohio. After high school, I headed west to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where I competed as an NCAA rifle athlete while earning my Bachelor’s in Journalism with a focus in Advertising and Public Relations. In 2020, I made the move to the Lowcountry—and I haven’t looked back since.

Before stepping into my current role as Main Street Beaufort Director, I gained valuable experience in hospitality and city operations. At Fripp Island Golf and Beach Resort, I was part of the hospitality marketing team during a major transition. There, I led initiatives in social media strategy, digital content, and visual marketing—streamlining the way the resort showcased its offerings. I later joined the City of Beaufort’s Downtown Operations team, where I applied my communications background to a variety of community-centered projects, expanding my role far beyond administrative work. These opportunities shaped my approach to community engagement and strategic planning.

Now, as Main Street Beaufort Director, I’m passionate about supporting local businesses, preserving downtown’s charm, and helping our community thrive. Whether you're looking to collaborate, chat over coffee, or bring a new idea to Main Street—I’d love to connect!
