I met Ethan while working at Nissan North America, Inc. just shy outside of Jackson, Mississippi. We are both automotive engineers — so it was a match made in heaven (or should I say, a match made in an automotive manufacturing facility!). From the start, we connected through our shared passion for innovation, problem-solving, and all thing automotive.

We got married on May 20, 2023, and life has been full-speed ahead ever since! Whether it’s tackling a new hiking trail, exploring a new city, or testing out a new recipe in the kitchen, we thrive on adventure and quality time together. One of our favorite traditions is going to every Clemson home football game together — and we make it a point to attend at least one away game every season. Fall weekends are sacred in our house, and sharing that excitement and school spirit as a couple makes it even more special.

The greatest joy in our life is our mini Australian Shepherd, Scout, who is always up for a new adventure with us. She’s the perfect trail sidekick for our favorite outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and even wakeboarding! There’s nothing better than packing up for the weekend and heading into the woods with our little family of three.

Through every stage in life, Ethan has been the biggest supporter and constant source of strength. Whether its cheering me on in pageantry or brainstorming engineering solutions late at night, he’s always by my side — and I’m so grateful for the love and marriage we share.
