Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby makes, constitutes

Data Gathering and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system, which actions may include
(a) preparing, executing, and submitting to the SEC a Form ID, amendments
thereto, and such other documents and other information as may be necessary
 or appropriate to obtain all necessary credentials (including codes or
passwords) enabling filings and submissions on behalf of the undersigned
via the EDGAR system, (b) acting as an account administrator for the
undersigned's EDGAR account, (c) delegating to Shoe Carnival, Inc. (the
"Company") and other appropriate entities authority from the undersigned's

 amendments thereto) that are required to be filed with such body, or
which any Attorney-in-Fact considers advisable to file with such body,

accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and Forms 144 in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

(3) seek or obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the

-in-Fact assumes (i) any liability for the undersigned's responsibility
to timely comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act, (ii) any liability of the undersigned for any failure to
comply with such requirements, (iii) any liability for any action or
inaction by an Attorney-in-Fact relating to their service as an account
administrator for the undersigned s EDGAR account, or (iv) any obligation
or liability of the undersigned for profit disgorgement under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act; and (d) this Power of Attorney does not relieve
 the undersigned from responsibility for compliance with any of the
undersigned's beneficial ownership and other reporting obligations under
the Exchange Act and the Securities Act.

This Power of Attorney will remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file with the SEC reports or notices
with respect to the undersigned's holdings of, and transactions in,
securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked as to any

Attorney-in-Fact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Attorney
-in-Fact hereafter ceases to be an employee of the Company, then this
Power of Attorney will be automatically revoked solely as to such
individual, immediately upon such cessation, without any further action
by the undersigned.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of September 29, 2025.
