BIOGRAPHY
Education and Experience
I am a 2025 interior design graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
With Stout's CIDA accreditation, I am confident in my readiness for entry-level positions and future career growth. My aspiration is to obtain NCIDQ certification and become a certified design professional post-graduation.
​
Throughout my education, I have acquired a diverse range of skills in general studies, technology, art, and design. This knowledge base enables me to create interior spaces that are enduring, safe, and conducive to improving lives while aligning with societal and environmental goals.
​
I take pride in my involvement with the IIDA-Northland Student Advisory Board (SAB) for the 2023-2024 term and my membership in the Stout Interior Design Organization (SIDO). Being part of these groups has given me opportunities to visit design firms, participate in industry and student events, and expand my professional network.
