What are you passionate about regarding your professional role?
I am passionate about providing a good experience for our prospects and VIPs from their very first encounter and throughout the entire journey. They are making a big decision to join the OAW community, and I want to do my part to ensure that this process runs as smoothly as possible.

What is something that makes you feel proud?
I am most proud of graduating from college this past year and earning a BBA in marketing with minors in Italian, history and European studies. I am a first-generation university graduate and attending Southern Methodist University (SMU) was a rewarding experience. I would recommend SMU to anyone considering a smaller school in the region.

Tell us about your hobbies:
Last year, I bought an old chess manual from a bookstore and decided to dedicate some time to the game. I have an ELO (measurement of performance in chess) of only 1,100, but I am improving and hope to continue. I also enjoy reading, as time allows. Currently, I’m reading The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Other books that I have recently read include The Demon and the Quantum by Robert Scully and Politics by Aristotle.

On the weekend, you can find me:
On the weekend, I enjoy visiting my friends and family. My friends and I participate in a small film club, where we exclusively watch horror movies. My three current horror favorites include Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982), Candyman (1992) and Skinamarink (2022).

What are some of your favorite foods and restaurants?
I like all types of food, but one of my favorite restaurants is Burger House, located in Snider Plaza. It’s a small restaurant that serves great hamburgers, fries and milkshakes. My second favorite restaurant, located just a block away from Burger House, is Bubba’s. They offer large servings of classic Southern food at a good price. My favorite items to order are the fried chicken and fried okra.

How would your friends describe you?
My friends would describe me as someone who is a good listener, open to others and amicable.
