Let's hang out! Horse trainer turned freelance photographer and art director based out of Hawthorne, FL. CrossFit enthusiast, volunteer leadership coach and a future entrepreneur are some other ways that my friends would describe me. I enjoy people with quick-wit and authenticity who are open to new ideas and who can teach me something. I play more than I work these days and am always looking for something new and exciting!

*Will be traveling through Europe from Sep. 14 to October 6 and will be looking for some cool people to crash with along the way! I am pretty well-traveled but am new to traveling solo, so this will be a first!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to traveling without a group and I like the idea of getting to meet new people and experience culture beyond what a website or a travel book can show me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised, trained and showed an abandoned horse to a Reserve National Championship.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty savvy with Canon DSLR's and any Adobe software related to design and photo editing. My degree and professional background is in advertising and marketing and I am completely enthralled with entrepreneurship and growing small businesses. I have quite a bit of experience coaching leadership and development courses and am very well-read when it comes to books related to the subject.
