I am a Virginia Beach native who has always had a special place in my heart for the city of Norfolk. After going away to college and then graduate school, I was drawn back home to be near family and enjoy the salty air. Over the years I've spent time working as a nanny, in coffee shops, volunteering in prayer ministry, and offering elder care while I completed my education and began working in the counseling field.

In my free time I enjoy trying out new restaurants, visiting local coffee shops, playing with my daughter, and spending sunny days outside riding bikes or relaxing at the beach.
