Company you work for and your position title

Oxford Floral, Lead Florist

Educational background

B.S. in Horticulture, concentration in Floral Design from Mississippi State

What inspired you to take your career path?

Growing up my father being a landscaper pushed me towards Horticulture. My freshman year I took a Basics to Introduction of Floral Design class and I fell in love. My senior year I interned with Oxford Floral and just fell in love with the shop and the people there.

What is the favorite part of your work day?

I love all of the different events, weddings and parties we get to help with in town. Getting to see a client’s reactions to a completed vision and the camaraderie of our team as we pull together keep me coming back everyday.
