Why I YPAL: Life as a young professional can be very difficult. There is so much to learn and understand, you can’t do it alone. YPAL is the best way to build community and make connections that will not only help you better yourself but help better Louisville as a whole.

Hometown: Louisville, KY, born and raised!

How I found out about YPAL: Back in 2018, as a sales intern at the Louisville Bats, a colleague off handedly mentioned an upcoming YPAL event. I went, and the rest is history.

What I’m looking forward to most: I’m looking forward to becoming a part of this impressive, close knit community of young professionals. Helping us grow our community and build on the wonderful foundation YPAL has, to better serve local young professionals and build a better Louisville for the foreseeable future and beyond.

Education: Male High School (‘14) and WKU (‘18)
