Hello!

Personal

I was born in Dallas, TX and moved to Denver, CO at the age of 7. I stayed there through college and would have stayed forever if it wasn't so expensive. I love snow, cold and dreary weather and the beautiful mountains. But, the Sagittarius in me really just loves travel in general. If I could make travel a living, I would. I'm also a huge Disney fan and try to go 2-5 times a year. You're never too old for magic.

Books

I’m always on the hunt for my next great read—whether it’s a sweeping historical fiction, a twisty thriller, or an unforgettable romance, I love getting completely lost in a good story and sharing my thoughts with fellow readers on Goodreads and Instagram. Many of my favorite recent reads came from early copies on NetGalley, where I enjoy discovering hidden gems and supporting both emerging and established authors.
 

As the founder of Silent Book Club - Plano, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space for readers to connect, unwind, and celebrate the joy of reading—no assigned books, no pressure, just community and conversation. Our group meets regularly to share recommendations, enjoy quiet reading time, and build friendships through a shared love of stories.
 

I review both books and audiobooks and always aim to offer honest, thoughtful feedback that helps connect readers to stories they’ll love. Let’s connect and keep the reading magic going—online and off! ✨📚

Wellness

"Let the joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal" is a quote that stuck with me not only during my yoga teacher training but throughout how I live. There is joy all throughout your journey from beginning, throughout and at the end and it is about focusing on that joy rather than simply achieving the end. That is how Journey to Joy Wellness came to be.

Essential Oils

Have you ever wondered, “How do I use essential oils?” If so, you aren’t alone. I became fascinated with essential oils and their uses and how they can help you. I believe that oils are not just a fad. But, I also believe that everyone is both affected differently and has different opinions about them. For me, I love them and I absolutely love mixing and discovering new blends. Oils have not only changed my mindset but my life. 

​

Organization and Planning

I also absolutely love to be organized. When I couldn't find the right planner stickers or find the right things I needed for my planning needs, I made my Etsy shop. Launching in 2016, Plan It Perfect is here so everyone can plan their life out the way they want it whether minimalistic style or dressed to the 9's.
