I graduated from Dodgeville High School in 2019 and went on to earn two bachelor’s degrees—one in Financial Economics and the other in Organizational Leadership—from Rockford University in May 2023. While in college, I interned at Northwestern Mutual as an Insurance Associate, and after graduation, I continued working there as a Financial Advisor for 1.5 years. During that time, I passed the SIE exam and obtained my Series 6 and 63 licenses, all while growing my book of business.

At the same time, I started my own company, On The Block Sports, an e-commerce store specializing in sports equipment and memorabilia. What began as a passion project has grown into a thriving business with nearly 20,000 sales and over $500,000 in revenue. Both my career in finance and my entrepreneurial journey have allowed me to combine my skills in leadership, problem-solving, and my love for sports.
