It’s my birthday, hello 28! 🍂☕️🤍 I’m grateful for the new experiences and lessons learned {Read More ⬇️}

🤰🏽found out we’re welcoming baby in 2025

✈️ traveled places I’ve only ever dreamed of, Bali changed my life (with wonderful stops in San Francisco and South Korea) and St. Lucia was a blessed addition

✍️ designed Delaware streetwear t-shirts & shipping to places as far as Colorado and Michigan (linked on profile)

🎉 added value to the delaware marketing & entrepreneurial space, grateful to receive my first individual awards honor (see you on 11/21)

✝️ endless hours of relationship building, praying, crying, pleading, smiling, laughing, learning, & studying with Jesus

At times I battle finding the time to share ALL that I get into, because what’s visible isn’t always valuable but we’re a transparent community that’s continuously growing and a little diary moment can be helpful to our new faces!

I’m forever grateful to be God’s chosen vessel for this venture and the roads being full of twists and turns, but we’re just getting started and I can’t wait to continue the journey.

It was a pleasure sharing the "stage" with Aloysius Butler & Clark's Alex Parkowski (moderator) & Courtney Thomas at NCC Chamber of Commerce 33rd Annual Women's Leadership Conference!

I'm still taking in the joy of the conversation and energy in the room! If I do say so myself, I believe everyone left equipped with a little more marketing in their tool kit.
