My Mission

Life & Hobbies

“My family is a huge part of my life and I love spending time with them. My hubby and I have two fur babies that we adore. We enjoy taking them on walks and watching them play with their toys. On the weekends I love trying out new restaurants, having self-care days, and catching up on my favorite Bravo reality TV shows. I have an obsession with home decor and love hitting up Target, HomeGoods, and any other trendy home furnishing stores. I find it therapeutic to create a Pinterest board and make it come to life! My go-to Starbucks drink is a Pink Drink and my favorite college football teams are my Florida State Seminoles (GO NOLES!) and Michigan Wolverines (GO BLUE!).”
