I’m based in Tampa, FL, but originally from the Panhandle of Florida. I will forever talk about the superiority of grinding and brewing your coffee over going to the bucks any day. I'm always on the hunt for an excellent cup of coffee or smoked old-fashioned. Forever scheming ways to create and solve problems to make life easier.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. There is always room to grow (in all aspects of life), and leave something better than you found it. Nothing is ever flawless or finished, embrace the mistakes, inconsistencies, and flaws. Everything I do seems to be always centered around helping others in some form or fashion. It makes me happy knowing I have helped someone else.
I have taken a lot of twists and turns in my jobs and my education. It all started with art and design and has circled back to art and design. Health and fitness is a strong passion of mine, and it is a non-negotiable. I dream that one day those two will be combined. I have worn many hats, and I continue to do so in all aspects of my life. For someone who didn't always enjoy school originally, I have found a passion for learning new things and taking on challenges.
My experience is vast. Having a military husband has helped keep the variety. Some of the past locations were very slim on jobs, amongst many other things. However, I made the most of what was given to me, and I have walked away with some fantastic experiences and challenges I had to overcome. Now that remote work is welcomed more, I want the job hoping to become a thing of the past. If you would like a more recent resume, please reach out or view my LinkedIn link in the footer.

Art classes started in high school, which leaked into my associate's degree; After being nudged to go in a different direction, I obliged and went the health route. I have an educational background in health, ranging from emergency medicine to kinesiology. Becoming an EMT made my years as a beach lifeguard tremendously easier. It was an eye-opening experience in the emergency medicine workforce, but it was not for me as a career. As I mentioned earlier, I love fitness; it is a daily part of my life, but coaching or being an athletic trainer was not something I wanted to do as a career. To be blunt, I didn't want to wear khakis and have to follow a sports team everywhere. My gut told me- to go back to art. So I followed that feeling. I have worked in all sorts of physical and digital mediums. Digital has been my favorite due to the availability of more people to interact with. I think technology is fantastic. When I was younger, I was constantly pushing the limits on the computer; I find that I still enjoy doing that.
