I was born in Saint Louis, Missouri and went through the Rockwood School District from K-12. I attended Lafayette High School and graduated in 2011. I played varsity golf and was involved with scouting and volunteer organizations such as Key Club. I went to Truman State University and received my undergraduate in History and my Masters in Education. I worked at Clayton High School for two years and taught History of Saint Louis, Sociology, Government, and U.S./World I. Additionally, I currently coach cross country and track and am the assistant xc coach at Webster Groves High School. In my free time I enjoy biking, running, rock climbing, and golfing!
