About Me
In my free time, you’ll most likely find me relaxing with my goldendoodle, Violet. I love trying new restaurants, catching sunsets, and traveling to discover fresh views and cuisine. I also enjoy staying up to date on the latest trends in therapy, fashion, and pop culture. Simple pleasures bring me the most joy, whether it’s savoring a sweet treat, sharing laughter with loved ones, or admiring a bouquet of hydrangeas.
I was raised in Florida and earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of South Florida.
