A Personal Note…

My family roots go back to Midway, GA and Jacksonville, FL. Family stories describe life about my great-grandfathers selling vegetables and raising hogs. I grew up in a family of educators and civil servants in Atlanta, taking the family vocation to also work in mental health and schools. I have a brother and a stepsister, who live in San Antonio and Atlanta.

I’m a big fan of college football and keep eclectic interests. I enjoy playing anything active with a ball, especially soccer. You can also find me outside hiking, foraging, or mushroom hunting. I value curiosity and hope to help you explore and strengthen your values too!
