Hello! Very excited to join the Foundation and the Fellows who have preceded me! I’m already meeting wonderful people who want to help and that is very special to me. The second semester of my sophomore year at FSU is flying by!

I’m currently on the lookout for sports operations and analytics opportunities for this summer to gain experience and make new connections.

Wishing everyone a great start to 2025—can’t wait to see what’s ahead!
