Why did you join JLOC? I joined the Junior League during Covid, in 2020. I initially joined for networking purposes, but I have stayed because I have found so much more. I have made great relationships, many of which I know will continue to grow. What advice do you have for Provisional or Active Junior League Members? There is something for everyone in the League. And, what you get from the League continues to change and evolve the longer you are in the League. Be open to new experiences and life lessons.

What is your career field? I work in international education and exchange, with a focus on Europe and cultural relations. I have had the great opportunity to travel to many beautiful places and meet incredible people from all over the world. What is a personal or professional goal that you have? I have started to study to be a sommelier so that I can gain the knowledge and skills to one-day manage a winery. That is part of the reason that I started the Wine Lovers Interest Group. I love being able to share my studies and training with my fellow JLOC Members.

What is one thing on your bucket list? I want to travel to all 50 states. I only have 4 states remaining, and after this summer, the only state that I will have not visited is Hawaii. (I’m thinking - ladies trip!)
