Summary
Content creator and former Occupational Therapist with a passion for reading, storytelling, and connecting with others. After seven years in OT, I stepped away from my career to travel full-time with my family while my husband’s work takes us around the country. I now create authentic lifestyle content and am excited to build meaningful partnerships around products I genuinely enjoy, especially books and reading.
