Aurora, Illinois

I grew up in Morton, Illinois and have been wrestling since I was three years old. The sport took me to Aurora University, where I'm wrapping up my Marketing and Graphic Design degree this May. I first got into graphic design in high school and fell in love with it almost immediately. College introduced me to marketing, and once I saw how the two worked together I was hooked. I genuinely see it as an art form with endless creative potential. At Aurora I've made the Dean's List, served as Chess Club President, and earned NWCA Scholar All-American honors. That same drive I learned on the mat shows up in my work too. When I'm not designing or in the classroom, I'm probably out fishing or building Legos. My proudest catch is a 3 pound muskie from the Shelbyville Spillway, and the Home Alone house is still my favorite build. I also stay active through yoga and whatever friendly competition I can rope my friends into, pickleball being a recent favorite.
