  1. How did you get to Greenville? I was born here in 1998, both my parents came here to attend ECU in the early 90s. I graduated from D. H. Conley and then went to school at UNCW and graduated in May of 2020. I studied Supply Chain Management and Business Analytics and began working for a large corporation in Georgia. However, I missed my hometown, home state, friends, and family. When an opportunity opened with Milestone Wealth, I had to take it!

  13. What is your favorite part of YP? My favorite part about the YP is networking and connecting with others. I knew Greenville was a small city, but it gets smaller with every event I attend. Everyone knows everyone, and that’s a part of the charm of Greenville!
  14. What is your favorite YP event and why? The third Thursday networking events are a great way to stay connected and meet new people at a new location each month. It has helped me try places in Greenville I’ve never been.
