Midwest to the West Coast
Born and raised in Bloomington, Indiana, I moved to California after college. I met my husband here, and we’ve called Chula Vista home since 2012.
Coffee, Community & Local Favorites
I’m a coffee fanatic often found at Caffe Tazza or Casa de Otay, catching up with local business owners. My husband and I love date nights at Novo Brazil or Bento & Noodles—our favorite local spots.
From Corporate to Community
After a decade in fashion, education, retail, and e-commerce, I launched Chula Vista City Lifestyle to tell stories of the community and support local businesses I love.
Early Morning Runs
Running is my daily reset. I cherish early mornings, the rhythm of my feet, and podcasts. I’m grateful for my local running community that inspires and challenges me as we hit the pavement together.
Cake and Cake Pop Master (And Dessert Devotee)
When not editing or running, I bake cakes, cake pops, and treats. Baking is my creative outlet and sharing desserts is my way of spreading joy.
