Growing up in White Rock, British Columbia and moving to St Catharines, Ontario in 2015 to attend Brock University where I graduated with Honours from Brock University's Sport Management program. In April of 2016 I took an internship with the Corvallis Knights, a baseball team in the WCL playing out of Oregon State University. In the final two years of my Undergraduate degree, I worked within Brock University Students' Union, Brock University Athletics, and lead a team as an intern at the Buffalo Canoe Club.

After graduation, staying in Niagara I started my professional career at the Buffalo Canoe Club, a Not-for-profit known for creating world-class sailors. I managed a staff of 18 while maintaining a profitable and growing Junior Activities Department and was promoted for my leadership, decision-making skills, and ability to foster strong relationships.

With a passion for entrepreneurship since I purchased my first lawnmower at the age of 12 (after signing a revenue-share agreement to pay back my father). To now working with Clearco (formally Clearbanc), where my alignment with their unwavering core mission to help founders win, is exactly why I decided to join the company in 2021.
