I am from Fulton, Maryland and was recruited to Ohio State to play field hockey. You just might catch me one day wearing one of my most prized possessions ~ my B1G Championship ring from 2001.

I have visited 45 countries on 6 continents and, no doubt, have given the travel bug to Richie, too.

I am a proud member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and served in a number of volunteer roles as an alumna, including chairing the $5 million renovation and expansion of my chapter house.

I am the oldest of seven siblings, though none of them are from both my real mom and dad. 

Richie and I recently moved from German Village to the BURBS in New Albany. I’m a little more obsessed with my new home office than I’d like to admit.

As an Ohio State Senior, I was on Homecoming Court and was awarded Outstanding Senior and Panhellenic Woman of the Year, but certainly my most humbling honor is a room named after me in the Ohio Union.

I owned a fundraising consulting firm named Raising Green Productions from 2010 to 2015 before joining the Ohio Treasurer’s office in 2015.

I am most comfortable in the great outdoors in a simple t-shirt and jeans, but I sure do love to get all fancy sometimes. Ironic yet perfect for this job, don’t you think?

During my time in college at Kent State I helped put on our Annual Fashion show which is the biggest show of the year. We’ve had sponsors such as Dillard’s and Michael Kors!

I studied fashion in Florence, italy for 4 months my junior year of college. Yep…I’m that girl who won’t stop talking about her semester abroad.

I love music so much, especially Twenty One Pilots! I’ve seen them live 7 times and counting.

My favorite drink of all time is a mojito. So much that my friends always send me pictures whenever they’re drinking one!

I have twin boy cats and they’re each others best friends. I also have a dog who is the same breed as the shop dog, Chewy!

My boyfriend is a music producer so I am constantly surrounded by music, which is so fun because I am not musically talented at all!

My favorite food is definitely chicken wings. So much that I had pounds of them served at my high school graduation party.

I have been planning my wedding on Pinterest since I was a teen so working with bridesmaid and bridal gowns gets me so excited for my future wedding!

My senior project/thesis/collection (at Purdue University) was designing, sewing, fitting and presenting 5 evening gowns + 4 cocktail dresses.

I have made two and a half wedding dresses for friends and family. The "Half" was my mom's wedding dress; I patterned it and my nana sewed it together.

Almost a year ago I adopted a kitten (my first real pet ever!) and named her Cincinnati…despite our living in Columbus.

I was in the background of a Say Yes to the Dress episode for about 0.5 seconds when I was an intern at Kleinfeld.

I am a midwest native but spent six years living in NYC after college. One of the many things I miss is the bagels, but the ones from 'The Lox' in Short North have become a great substitute.

My favorite place that I've traveled to so far is Galway, in Ireland. It's a bustling, quaint city with so much life and history and some of the best sweaters I've ever found.

I have a 1-year-old mini cockapoo named Louie. He is an adorable fluffy ball of energy! Unlike our shop dog Chewy, I don’t think he would be able to keep his cool if given the opportunity to be surrounded by so many pretty dresses.

I sold a skirt on the clothing resale app DePop to Chris Rocks’ daughter and was sent a paypal from Chris Rocks’ account! I may or may not tell everyone this fun fact every chance that I get.

I’ve run a half-marathon! I was on the cross country team in high school and trained for it the summer before my Freshman year at Kent State.

When I am not in class or swamped with homework, I love being a member of my sorority, Alpha Xi Delta!

I have a fun side gig where I get to facilitate custom apparel sales for Greek life, clubs, and organizations on campus.

I was a daycare teacher for 2 years! Although seemingly unrelated to what I am currently pursuing, working with children ranging from 8 weeks to 12 years old has taught me patience and compassion. Both of which I believe are essential to any role, in any industry.

My favorite pastime is squirrel hunting around my neighborhood.

Milkbones are my favorite. I know where Mom keeps them in the house and at the shop. When I want one, I just go sit by them and magically someone gets me one.

When Mom and Dad travel, I get to sleep over at my Grammy’s house.

I love to play fetch with myself with my Darth Vader toy.

Babies are my jam, but Mom won’t get me one. She’s too busy running a shop or something. Lame.

I’m hypoallergenic, so Mom spends more on my hair cuts than her own.

I always can tell when mom has brought me into the shop on my day off.

I love being in front of a camera. Just tell me where to look! Mom really shoulda got me an agent.
