ABOUT ME

I’m a senior at Clemson University studying Wildlife & Fisheries Biology with a minor in Entrepreneurship. My experience spans marketing, content creation, e-commerce, and web design through internships, and by founding two companies, Penfield Lure Company LLC and All In Golf Club LLC. I’m passionate about outdoor and lifestyle brands and thrive in creative, fast-paced environments. I’m also building my personal brand online by sharing my college experiences, the challenges and wins of being a young founder, and my overall journey in entrepreneurship.
