Passion creates.
Passion explores.
Passion ignites!
When I think of passion I get instantly excited to the point I am jumping up and down like a jackrabbit. My passion shows up in making a difference for others. I am passionate about life journeys, stories, experiences, life lessons, the story of you and how you matter, being introduced to your “why”.
I have a passion for young people, our future; their dreams, hopes, fears and moments of self-discovery. There is beauty in allowing them to fail and supporting them to prevail.
My passion is high for college access, philanthropy and Being on PURPOSE! I push people to believe in themselves and take ownership of their story, creating a platform where curiosity ignites bold action toward living out your passion (s) daily.
I am passionate about paying it forward and positivity, there is power in positive intention. We were put on this Earth to make someone else’s life better, giving intentionally and anonymously, whether that is through gifts or with your presence.
I am passionate about celebrating you, creating spaces for recognition amongst community. I am a history maker, leaving the world better than I found it.
