About Me

 I am a 28-year-old momma of two kiddos and two kitties, on my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors and time with family. Also, you can find me at any taco & margarita truck or the golf course with my significant other, Andrew. I am a hard worker; always see a task through to completion, whether it be for personal or for work. I love to be creative and organized, whether that be working with my hands woodworking/building, making designs, learning a new task or making a spaces just right. Apart from my personal hobbies, I went to school for Interior Design to further develop my love of space planning and creating environments that are warm and welcoming. I am very organized and detail oriented and I greatly enjoy helping others. I have a small hobby of creating signage and decor for special events, such as weddings and graduations.
