I’m originally from the Cincinnati, Ohio area and currently a senior at the University of Alabama, where I’m completing my degree in finance with a focus in real estate and digital consumer engagement. I’ve developed a strong interest in the intersection of real estate, design, and marketing, particularly how spaces are presented and experienced.

Through my internship with the Erin Krueger Real Estate Team, I gained experience in marketing, branding, and client-facing work, and saw how thoughtful design and presentation can significantly impact how a home performs in the market. That perspective led me to create SLATE, a concept that brings together real estate, design, and branding in a more intentional, design-forward way.

Following graduation, I will be working with Amanda Simmons Interiors in Houston where I’ll be involved in the day-to-day operations of the business and supporting overall client experience. This role will give me a deeper understanding of how a design-focused company runs behind the scenes while continuing to build on my interest in design. Long term, I’m interested in combining this experience with real estate to contribute to more elevated, design-driven approaches within the industry.
