Madison
I grew up in a suburb of Madison, WI. As a first-generation college student, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a full tuition scholarship. There, I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Finance and Risk Management & Insurance. Throughout my time at UW-Madison, I actively engaged in various student organizations, holding executive board positions and expanding my leadership skills.
Copenhagen
In 2016, I had the privilege of studying abroad at the Copenhagen Business School. This experience allowed me to explore and immerse myself in different cultures. I had the chance to visit multiple countries, with Norway and Greece being among my favorites. The memories and lessons I gained from this international adventure are unforgettable.
Denver
After graduating from UW-Madison, I embarked on a new chapter by accepting a full-time job and relocating to Denver, CO in 2017. I quickly fell in love with Colorado’s natural beauty and vibrant energy. It has been my home ever since.
Mr. Burger
In 2020, I welcomed a rescue dog named Mr. Burger into my life. He’s a Beagle Aussie Shepherd Mix. Mr. Burger enjoys peanut butter treats, exploring the local dog parks, and going on leisurely walks around Sloan’s Lake. He also joins me for my outdoor adventures, such as camping and backcountry skiing.
Outdoor Enthusiast
Living in Colorado has ignited my passion for outdoor activities. I’ve embraced a wide range of hobbies, including resort and backcountry skiing, summiting 14ers, backpacking, rock climbing, and camping. To fuel my thirst for adventure, I even remodeled a slide-in truck camper, enabling me to travel with my dog.
Hobbies
In addition to my outdoor pursuits, I enjoy several other hobbies. I am an avid reader, participating in a book club and reading 25+ books per year. Outdoor concerts, especially at Red Rocks Amphitheater, are a favorite past time. I play in volleyball leagues year round. I am also passionate about volunteering with Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, both at adoption events and by hosting foster dogs in my home.
