Growing up, my best friend was "cheeto," an orange tabby that enjoyed 13 years with me. Now, I'm a proud mother of 2 cats, Lt. Turbo Diesel and Dr. Ryback.

Originally from Southern Maryland, I became an official Florida girl in 2015, when my boyfriend, Will and I moved south. We decided, "Why wait until we're retired to live in paradise?"

So, I traded my 2 hour commute into Washington, DC, for a slower paced Marketing job on Sanibel Island... and haven't looked back.

I have a BA in Communications from Messiah College, where I formed awesome relationships with friends, teammates, professors and God. Now, I'm pursuing my Master's in Integrated Marketing Communications online at Marist College and will walk across the stage in May 2016!

I can't wait to see where my journey will take me. Hopefully on a boat somewhere, sailing off into the sunset with Will, Turbo and Ryback.
