I am a strong-willed, adventurous, and coffee-loving overachiever. Feeling stifled in an agency, I sought after something different to give you a better product.
I started cultivating a different life.
Knowing web design was my thing, I went back to school at the University of Florida for my masters degree in web design. While doing that, I accidentally built a thriving tennis coaching business.
Starting my own business was my only option in the middle of covid. Luckily It boomed and I got to meet and get to know some of the most amazing people. Although, I knew coaching kids tennis wasn’t going to work long-term. So what did I do? I went to grad school at the University of Florida for web design. I knew that I needed to provide my clients with a level of expertise and dedication that I could get from a master’s degree.
I’M SO PUMPED to start this new endeavor and help small businesses reach their goals with a rockin’ online presence. Now let’s get to the personal stuff. . .
I'm an animal lover and adventure seeker. You might find me in the Jacksonville waterways looking for dolphins on the weekends or at the animal shelter reminding myself that I don't need another animal. Right now I've got a few fish and a funny old dog with one eye.
When I'm not coaching, building websites, or doing school (I graduate in December!), I might be playing pickleball or out shopping at thrift stores.
Growing up, you could find me on the tennis courts, running on the beach, or downtown Fernandina Beach. We lived a relatively slow life and were homeschooled for most of our lives. My heart longed for more opportunities and community with endless possibilities.
Already familiar with Jacksonville, I made the move for undergrad and haven't looked back. I've built an amazing community through my church and from my tennis coaching business. I hope to expand one day, but right now...I'm in love with JAX.
