I’ve been doodling since I could hold a pencil. I have always had an interest in artistic design using all mediums, from physical drawings and paintings, to online logo design and social media.

I graduated from Clemson in 2019 with a BS in Criminal Justice and a minor in Sociology. My professional life started when I became a deputy in Oconee County, SC. During academy, I was the class leader and at the top of the class, but my notebooks were filled with doodles instead of notes. I was an EMT in Aiken County during the height of the COVID pandemic. During my time in these careers, I have also been a soldier in the SC Army National Guard since 2018.

I reignited my passion for art and design at the beginning of my deployment with the 1223 EN CO in 2023. I drew and painted two murals of our company mascot, once at the unit in Walterboro, SC and once during pre-mobilization in Texas. My partner told me I should pursue this as a career, and while I pushed back, I realized how much I missed drawing and designing and eventually gave into the thought that I could do this as a career.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, traveling with my partner, cooking, playing video games, and doing home improvement projects.
