I deeply value respect, loyalty, and compassion, and these principles guide how I interact with others and support my community. I believe in honoring every person’s story, standing by those I care about, and showing empathy through action. This is why I invest in Student U—because it reflects these values by helping students and families in communities across North Carolina thrive. Through innovation and teamwork, we can build a stronger future for all.
Outside of Student U, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy running and taking walks with my dog, Willow. I enjoy listening to music and playing the piano. I also love to travel to new places!
