“Strength grows in the moments you think you can’t go on but do.”
I owe the opportunities to grow my career to those who have supported me along the way, but I claim my strength and accomplishments that I have gained along the way.
A glimpse into my heart
As the eldest daughter of six and the first grandchild on both sides of my family, I grew up with a natural sense of responsibility resting on my shoulders. From an early age, I felt the unspoken expectation to set an example, to achieve great things, and to carry myself in a way that made my family proud. Rather than feeling weighed down by that role, it shaped me into someone driven, grounded, and deeply connected to the people I love. My family is the heart of everything I do—they’re my motivation, my support system, and the reason I work so hard to create a meaningful life.
I’m incredibly lucky to share that life with my amazing boyfriend, who supports my career, encourages my goals, and is truly my best friend. Having someone who believes in me so completely has brought so much joy, balance, and comfort into my everyday life.
Outside of work and responsibilities, I make it a priority to care for myself and enjoy the little things that make me feel like me. I love getting my nails done, unwinding with my favorite TV shows, spending time outdoors, and visiting with family whenever I can. I’ve always been drawn to soft, calming aesthetics—pastel colors and especially sage green feel like reflections of my personality: gentle, warm, and steady.
My journey is shaped by love, loyalty, ambition, and the desire to honor where I come from. Every step forward is a way of building a life that reflects both who I’ve been and who I’m becoming.
