Access Advisory Council

Why Tallahassee?
I have called Tallahassee home my entire life, aside from a 5-year hiatus in South Florida when I was young. I can honestly say that I have loved calling Tallahassee home during every stage of my life. As a young professional, I can attribute FSU sporting events and the Forgotten Coast as major reasons why I stayed.

Why did you get involved with Access Tallahassee?
After graduating from Florida State, I knew that I wanted to get involved with an organization that would aid me in creating solid professional relationships and building my personal networking skills. After finding Access and attending a few events, I knew that I had found the right group.

Favorite TLH Festival?
My favorite festival is TCC’s Uncorked on Campus: Food & Wine Festival. It’s a great way to see the TCC campus and enjoy delicious food and drinks!

Why Tallahassee? 
Tallahassee is my hometown. I view Tallahassee as the perfect balance of big and small towns. We have enough size and growth for career progression without the feeling of disconnection from the community. Growing up here has helped build long term relationships. Those relationships have helped me tremendously in my career and personal life.

What’s the best part about Access?
I have always enjoyed connecting with people my age. The Chamber does a great job of including everyone in their events. That being said, there is also something to be said about the common ground we have as young professionals.

What’s on your Tallahassee bucket list?
To see our basketball team play for the National Championship.
