I was highly involved at my university, in various clubs and Greek life holding many different roles and positions in my undergraduate and master's degrees. I also worked as a seasonal, part-time clerk at bookstores for the university and community college.

During the last two school years at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico, I was a graduate assistant, which included being a teaching assistant for several spreadsheet and economics courses. I also did social media outreach for a business accelerator program while at NMSU. 

Prior to graduating in August 2021, I was a loan analyst at a community bank and began applying and interviewing for jobs outside of New Mexico and more aligned with my career goals and desires.

I attended NMSU for both degrees. My bachelor’s was a double major in marketing and general business with minors in advertising and management. Then I did a Master of Business Administration in agribusiness.

I graduated from my undergraduate and master's degree programs financially independent and debt free.

I love to hike, be outdoors, hang out with friends, watch movies, and travel.
