TELL US YOUR TALLAHASSEE STORY:
I came to Tallahassee as a freshman at TCC (now TSC) and transferred to FSU for my Junior year. I already had a full-time job that was based in Tallahassee when I graduated, so I had no reason to leave. I met my fiancé (soon-to-be husband on 2/8/2025!), who was finishing up a PhD at FSU and we have put down roots here with friends, our careers, and our love for the area.
What is your favorite thing about Tallahassee?
My favorite thing about Tallahassee is the access to outdoor activities. We are within a 15-minute to 2-hour drive of state and local parks, which is perfect for my love of camping, hiking, and kayaking.
What would you say to someone considering moving to Tallahassee?
I like to call Tallahassee a “big-small town”. It offers many different types of businesses and activities (especially if you go outside the college bubble), and chances are once you start working and making friends, you will run into someone you know almost anywhere.
What is your favorite thing about your career?
With an agency, we don’t have just one type of client, so I love that I get to work with so many different industries! It keeps my day-to-day interesting and pushes me to always continuing learning.

Who inspires you and why? The women in my life are my biggest inspiration. From raising their children and achieving goals in their careers to caring for everyone around them, I’m constantly in awe. Watching them live their lives—especially the women who raised me and my partner—truly inspires me every day.
