My passion for fashion started from an early age. I have memories of coming home from the school day, going through the clothes my mother so generously purchased for me and laid out nicely on my bed; picking and choosing which pieces I liked and which I would never, ever wear. I’d plan where I could wear them, and what pieces I could pull from my mom's closet to try them on with. Would it be the women’s stilettos five sizes too big for me? Or the not so appropriate for 3rd-grade silk scarf? With the sassy attitude of a 9 year old girl, of course, I dissected each piece.

This is where the magic began.

​

After growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, I attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, graduating with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and General Business. Following my time at TCU, I moved to Dallas, TX and started working in marketing at a jewelry manufacturer, prior to my time at LTK as a Brand Platform Consultant. Since leaving LTK in Spring of 2026, I moved from Texas to New York City to join the influencer team at Zappos. I have been fortunate to work for amazing brands like LoveShackFancy, Rag & Bone, Over the Moon, and Avara, and cannot wait to see what else is to come.

 

Now onto more fun things...

 

I love iced vanilla lattes, yoga, traveling, scenic views, my family, my friends, my dogs, and of course fashion.

 

Now, out of all my loves, shopping is one of the greatest. Not only are you able to find fun new outfits, but you are able to elevate your overall mood. Who doesn't love the feeling when you walk out of a store with bags full of new purchases! On a more serious note, I love to look good. Not in an "I have to impress others" way, but a way that lets me feel confident in who I am. When I dress in an outfit that I love, I feel like I can be the best version of myself. It makes me feel strong, confident, and excited for the day to come.

That is a feeling that everyone deserves to experience.
