I was born & raised in Moore, S.C. and I’ve lived in the Spartanburg area ever since. I graduated from Clemson in 2016 with a major in Graphic Communications. I am in charge of coordinating member & non-member events at the club, as well as being the point-of-contact for all membership inquiries. My favorite thing about working at The Carolina Country Club is getting to meet new people every day! I am a “fur mom” to 2 dogs & 1 cat. I enjoy cuddling with my pets, trying new restaurants with my boyfriend on the weekend, and spending quality time with my family & friends.
