After growing up in Tennessee, I attended and graduated from The University of South Carolina with a love of private clubs. During my time at The Peninsula Club on Lake Norman, I had the privilege of training in all areas of food and beverage management while working with an amazing team and membership that quickly became family. I get true enjoyment out of going the extra mile to make someone's experience extra special, from the quickest of meals to the grandest of events. In my free time, you can find me outside somewhere enjoying time with friends, family, and my rescue pup. I am very excited to join the amazing team at Landfall and begin my journey of creating memorable experiences for such a wonderful membership!
