Originally from the Chicago area, I moved to Cape Coral, Florida, with my family at the age of six and have called various Florida cities home ever since—including Sarasota, Gainesville, Fort Myers Beach, Weston, and Boca Raton—before settling once again in Cape Coral. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from the University of Florida and have worn many professional hats over the years, from retail advertising to substitute teaching. One of my proudest roles has been raising my now-adult son. I have served as a Program Assistant at the CAA for over five years. I also attend graduate school at FGCU and I'm on track to complete my M.A. in Educational Leadership with a concentration in Higher Education in December 2025. When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy writing, painting, knitting, and unapologetically indulging in long naps.
