I grew up in a small town in Virginia and shortly after high school graduation I moved to Norfolk, Virginia. I began my college journey with an associates degree from Rappahannock Community College and in the Spring of 2026 finalized my Bachelors in Arts and Science from Old Dominion University. I have an extensive background in retail management focused around wine and beer. In that time I held every position beginning as a cashier and up to a store manager, gaining expirence and knowledge equating to wine expert levels. More recently to gain a more consistent schedule, I have joined the financial world and have been a manager at a local Hampton Roads Credit Union. I plan to continue my journey in my financial institution and do what is best for me and my family.
