I grew up in a tiny Florida town—Brooksville (yes, it’s real, and yes, it’s as small as it sounds). Surrounded by fields and orange groves, I always knew I wanted to see more of the world. So in 2016, I packed a backpack, kissed comfort zones goodbye, and took off solo to London, France, and Spain. Was I nervous? 100%. But that trip showed me just how much life there is to live and how brave I could be.

Since then, travel has been a huge part of my story. I’ve made incredible memories with friends (Bali is still top-tier), but like many of us, my globe-trotting paused when the pandemic hit. The upside? I met my husband—yep, he slid into my DMs, said I was the one, and turns out... he was right. 🥹

Now, here we are—married with three amazing kids and living the beautifully chaotic life I never knew I needed. While international flights are on hold, I’ve found a new joy in exploring the fun, hidden, and must-see spots right here in the U.S. From weekend road trips to local gems, I love finding (and sharing) all the best places for food, fun, and family adventures.

I’m always behind the camera creating content for brands I love. Photography is my creative happy place—especially capturing interiors of hotels, restaurants, and spaces that tell a story.
