Most kids play. I hustled.

Age 9 | Natural stone and wire earrings, complete with P.O.P. display, sold at local picnics & barbeques @ Haulover Park (not the questionable side)

Age 10 | Visited my sister at a theater camp in Canada, only to launch an overnight cafe partnership with the owner’s daughter as the official waitresses (Yes, we made tips)

Age12 | Homemade cupcakes and garnaches peddled (by yours truly) at Belize’s Institute of Archeology in Belmopan, Belize

(It's a wonder I never became a street vendor as an adult. Bucket list?)

Age 13 | Mobile pedicures for any of my mom’s friends who’d pay

It wasn’t until high school that I discovered my motivations were money and a clear knack for marketing. I joined DECA and the rest was history.

JK! What really happened was…

During my freshman year of undergrad, I became doubtful that I’d chosen the right major (business specializing in marketing) at the University of Florida. My “advisor” told me I wasn’t good enough and insisted I change my major.

I listened, and I shouldn’t have.

Fast-forward and I have learned not to doubt myself. I have learned that my passion has always been the same. And no matter where I am or what I’m doing, I’m using my honed skills in event planning, program coordination, marketing strategy, branding, and project management to get it all done.

Full service doesn’t get any more full circle than that.
