a little about me

What defines our paths often involves shared experiences and unique insights. As a proud Appalachian from Knoxville, Tennessee, my journey includes a background in management before transitioning into insurance sales—a leap that not only reinvigorated my career but also allowed me to help others while earning a good living. In this age of entrepreneurial spirit and transformation, many individuals are seeking ways to break free from conventional career paths to pursue their passions. Residing in a vibrant food and thrift culture, I embrace values that resonate with sustainability and compassion. Each thrift store visit is not just a shopping experience, but a treasure hunt—finding unique pieces that tell a story and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. I also advocate for animal rescue, as my home is shared with multiple pets that enrich my life and illustrate the joy of giving these animals a second chance. Furthermore, being part of the LGBTQ+ community, I believe in creating inclusive spaces where everyone is loved and seen. My journey involves deconstructing past ideologies shaped by a former fundamentalist upbringing, promoting mental well-being and a sense of belonging for all. Every day is a step toward self-discovery and adventure—let’s embrace these journeys together, fostering connections over shared values and stories!
