Accomplishments

    Throughout my aquatic journey I have accomplished so much more than I ever dreamt. I as most others started young at the age of 7 with my very first aquarium. I have advanced over the years and now I successfully run over 14 large reef aquariums in my home as well as run two successful small businesses geared around aquatics, customer service, education, conservation, reptiles, pets, and more. I am extremely passionate about the care of all living beings. YOU included. How are you doing today?Okay back to my accomplishments, I am not really a “toot my own horn” kind of gal but I am extremely proud of where I am, and where I can go if given the right opportunity. This is my whole life, and I am in love with it. I will provide my cell number below, please reach out anytime.
