I’m an Alabama girl turned Texan… and honestly? I wasn’t supposed to turn out this way.

I grew up in a small town in rural Alabama where hard work wasn’t optional... it was survival. My Pentecostal Grandpa used to tell me “Don’t wait for opportunity to find you, go build it yourself.” So I did.

I worked my way to a full ride at the University of Alabama to study engineering, the first big leap that changed my life. While there, I helped found and served as marketing chair for one of the first multicultural sororities on campus, which is where I caught my first glimpse of what it meant to lead with both heart and grit and make my own path.

After college, I spent nearly a decade climbing the corporate ladder in the engineering and management world, outworking and often out-talking the boys club. But somewhere between the spreadsheets and strategy meetings, I realized something was missing: impact, connection, and purpose.

Then 2020 happened. As a toddler mom with a shiny new corporate title....

In the middle of a pandemic, my husband and I bought a failing wedding venue that had never hit a six-figure year. Most people thought we were crazy, and maybe we were. But I saw potential where others saw problems.

Fast forward a few years later, that same venue has hosted over 500 weddings, grown into a full-scale, all-inclusive operation, and now brings in six-figure months instead of six-figure years.

And the best part?

I get to help other venue owners do the same, building profitable, freedom-filled businesses that serve their couples and their lives.
