Employment:
Evo Business Environments  – Dealer Designer 
-Intern – January 2021 – May 2021
-Full Time – May 2021 – Present

ASID Involvement:
Student Member – August 2018 – May2021; Allied Member – May 2021 – Present; Central Arkansas DCC Co-Chair – October 2021 – September 2022; Northwest AR DCC Chair-Elect/Finance Liasion – October 2022 – September 2023; Northwest AR DCC Chair – October 2023 – September 2024

ULI Northwest AR Chapter Associate Member – August 2023-Present
Northwest AR Emerging Leaders Member – April 2023-Present

Honors, Awards, & Publications:
Leadership Benton County Class of 2024 Graduate

Candidate Statement: In 300 words or less, state why the role is of interest to you, what you hope to bring to the design community through a position on the chapter board: My involvement with ASID began when I was a sophomore in college and has continued even after being out of school and in the professional world for a little over four years now. In that time, I relocated from the Central AR DC to the recently revamped Northwest AR DC within the chapter and immediately jumped in to serving on that DC committee as chair-elect and chair. Now, as I am preparing to relocate back to the Central AR DC where it all started for me, I would love to take on the role of Director of Communications and be a part of the chapter board for the fiscal years of 2025-2027.

This position would allow me to further develop my leadership skills and expand my volunteer involvement within the industry. I would also have the opportunity to establish new relationships and reconnect with members in my original DC. I believe my involvement with the Northwest AR DC committee would also be valuable to this position, since I have served as both chair-elect and chair of that DC committee.
