I was born and raised in Ludington, Michigan, a beach/tourist town on the coast of Lake Michigan. I attended Ludington High School and graduated in 2015. During my junior and senior years of high school, I dual-enrolled at our local community college taking courses that would transfer to whichever University I decided to attend post-high school. Following graduation, I moved to Big Rapids to attend Ferris State University.

 

My family has always been the most important part of my life and I was lucky enough to be raised in the same town as all of my cousins! Sunday dinners at my grandparents house are a weekly tradition and I often find myself with my family any time I have a break from school or work. Work is also very important to me. I began working at a local ice cream shop when I was 14 years old, and before I left for college it wasn't uncommon for me to hold more than one job at a time. I love working in customer service and am very partial to locally owned businesses!
