Founder, The Upside Down Collection, LLC

ClemsonLIFE, 2020

What role do you play in the entrepreneurial ecosystem?

I own a jewelry business. I make and sell jewelry online and at pop up stores.

What are some of your best memories of your time at Clemson?

I made many new friends through the ClemsonLIFE program and as a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Home football games were great fun! I also enjoyed living on my own, becoming independent, and going out with friends.

What were the key inflection points in your career after you left Clemson?

My job coach with the ClemsonLIFE program suggested that I get into the jewelry business. With her help, I started The Upside Down Collection during my senior year at Clemson.

What are your personal and professional dreams?

Personally, having many friends and living independently.

Professionally, I would love to own my own store to sell my jewelry.

What would you recommend students do to maximize their remaining time at Clemson?

Partake in as many activities as you can and have fun!

What else should we know about you?

I love working out at F45 and leading Zumba classes at Camp Ton-A-Wandah every summer. I love to dance and visit with friends, and I love my weekly Bible study.
