TELL US YOUR TALLAHASSEE STORY:

After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, I was drawn to the vibrant energy of Tallahassee, a place that felt like home and was brimming with young professionals ready to make their mark.

What is your favorite thing about Tallahassee?

One of my favorite things about Tallahassee has to be the First Fridays in Railroad Square—they’re such a blast! And I absolutely love the farmers market on Saturdays at Kerry Forest. This city is bursting with life and has such a warm, welcoming vibe!

What business or event would you like to see come to Tallahassee?

If I had to choose a business to bring to Tallahassee, I would definitely choose a Topgolf. It’s the perfect blend of fun and entertainment, offering all the excitement of golfing without the hassle of sunburn.

What is your favorite thing about your career?

One of the aspects I cherish most about my career is the opportunity to assist individuals in navigating their financial journeys. It’s incredibly fulfilling to guide clients through the complexities of budgeting, investing, and planning for their futures. Witnessing their progress and seeing the positive impact of my guidance on their lives is profoundly rewarding. Helping them achieve their financial goals not only enhances their quality of life but also reinforces my passion for this field.
