About

I am currently enrolled at my local community college, pursuing a degree in Business marketing a long with a certificate in Construction technology. I work for a construction company as the accounting/marketing department! I love the industry and I have helped our company reach out to the community in quite a few ways, from high school recruiting to customer picnics, I love marketing and working with the people in my town. I was very active in high school as far as clubs and sports go, I was President of FFA and held an officer position in a few different associations. I made history by being the first female that ever threw javelin at my high school and I took that pride in making history all the way to my career. I run my own small business creating hand-painted jean jackets and custom vinyl works. I take great pride in being the youngest person in company history to hold such a high position, and I am Social media chair for two state-wide organizations, one being the very first organization for women in construction for the state legislature. I have big dreams of staying in the construction industry and making history for women of all ages and backgrounds.
