Hello, nice to meet you

Hey there, friend. I’m so glad you’re here. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I’m a proud dog mom to my adventurous partner-in-crime, Bud. He’s my constant reminder to embrace the little joys in life, whether it’s exploring a new hiking trail or just enjoying the simplicity of a quiet moment. Bud keeps me on my toes, and his zest for adventure inspires how I approach everything I do—with curiosity, determination, and a sense of purpose.

Life for me has always been about chasing big dreams and working hard to bring them to life. Whether I’m pushing myself to smash a new goal at the gym, spending quality time with friends over a glass of vino, or diving headfirst into my next big idea, I give 110% to the things I care about. That passion led me to launch not just one but two hobby brands: ‘Stay Gold Dahling’ and ‘Acclimate.’ Both have been deeply rewarding creative outlets—blending my love for design, storytelling, and connecting with others in ways that feel authentic and meaningful.

But before I found my love for branding and design, I was solving a different kind of problem. I served as an airborne mechanic in the US Army and was part of the 173rd brigade in Vicenza, Italy. After my military service, I continued honing my skills as a mechanic for BAE Systems government contracting at Fort Cavazos. Those years taught me resilience, precision, and the power of showing up when it matters most. Working on tactical vehicles gave me a foundation of grit and focus that I carry into everything I do today.

Along the way, I also explored an education in network engineering and information technology, with 30 credits left to complete, and came within four classes of earning an associate’s degree in general engineering. During that time, I completed an internship with the Veteran Affairs Hospital in the biomedical department, gaining hands-on experience and developing a deeper appreciation for problem-solving in technical environments.

Now, as a designer, marketer, and project manager, I get to use all of these experiences to help small businesses and startups find their voice and tell their story. I especially love directing creatively, empowering, and inspiring others to push themselves with their ideas, imagination, and perfecting their craft. My brain is both creative and analytical, which allows me to see what needs to be improved or pushed further to align with a brand’s mission and future. Whether it’s strategizing visually with social media pages, photography, or videos and reels, I thrive on creating content that connects with people and brings ideas to life.

For me, it’s never just about the finished product. It’s about the people, the connections, and the shared excitement of building something meaningful. Watching someone’s vision come to life is what drives me, day after day. I truly believe that when hard work, dedication, and imagination come together, the possibilities are endless.

So, thank you for being here—for taking a moment to learn about me and my story. If you’re here to connect, collaborate, or just say hi, I’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s swapping hiking stories, sharing fitness goals, or brainstorming the next big idea, I’m all in. And if Bud approves, I already know we’ll make a great team. Let’s create something extraordinary together.
