About

I am an Administrative Support Associate at UNC Charlotte. In May 2011, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (Management Emphasis) with a minor in music from Charleston Southern University. I have been taking courses from UNC Charlotte since June 2018, and I will begin earning my Master of Arts in Liberal Studies starting in the Fall of 2021.

While I enjoy my current job, I am looking to become an entrepreneur and have published a children's book, "The Paint Jars" through Barnes and Noble Press. My hobbies include music, art, running, and writing.
