My mission is to inspire mindfulness in human relationships through a vibrant and exciting visual narrative of lifestyle driven content. From exploring Texas’ most epic locations to chilling in the backyard with my gal pals and my dog, I aspire to encourage others to chase new experiences and love with an open and full heart.

I grew up right here in Boerne, attending Champion High School.  I traveled throughout Texas during college, but I missed home. Thrilled at the opportunity, I moved back to Boerne to make a true impact on our robust and delightful community as the Development Director for Rainbow Senior Center and Meals on Wheels Kendall County, writing grants and fundraising.  I am passionate about supporting our neighbors and local businesses, and I love to encourage others to experience the joys of our town through Instagram!  The Boerne community is one of a kind, and being so close to San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Comfort and Kerrville, there are many activities to experience and neighbors to support!

Feminine and quirky is how I would describe my style!  I have really enjoyed partnering with businesses such as Ella Blue, Shopping with Siobhain, La Gloria, Saint Tryphon Farm and Vineyards, Signor Vineyards, Camp Lucy, UNATION and Narcity, but I love to explore new places and encourage others to do the same!

When I am not exploring and taking photos, I work to advocate for seniors in Kendall County, encouraging independence and reducing barriers for enriched lives. During these times of social distancing, we are urgently finding new and creative ways to fulfill seniors with value, independence, belonging and empowerment.  As seniors are unable to attend RSC for socialization, we are committed to bringing our programs and services safely to them in their homes and ensuring no senior feels alone, hungry or forgotten.

I am fortunate to feel fulfilled through my work and my hobbies, encouraging others to explore outside of the box, to feel authentically themselves, and to love and support our neighbors.
