I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Nonprofit Administration from John Carroll University. The skills and knowledge I gained have contributed favorably to my entrepreneurial and teaching endeavors.
Currently, I own an interior design business that I have been operating since 2015. To date, I have designed over 100 spaces. As a business owner, I have learned to overcome obstacles, take risks, and utilize creativity. Consequently, I have gained a wealth of knowledge relating to entrepreneurship, business, and interior design. My real-world experiences prepared me to teach business concepts in a practical yet meaningful way.
