After earning my Associates in Architectural Drafting and working at an architectural firm, I realized it wasn’t for me. Craving adventure, I pursued a career change and became a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines, enjoying a life filled with travel and excitement. However, a cliff jumping accident altered my path, resulting in a broken back and paralysis.

Undeterred, I embraced a new challenge—competing in the Paralympics. Within a few years, I found myself heading to the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, representing my country in cross-country skiing.

While the skiing chapter was fulfilling, I felt the need to reevaluate my career. Seeking a creative outlet with the flexibility to accommodate my changed circumstances, I discovered a passion for web design. Web design has allowed me to assist small businesses and entrepreneurs in showcasing their ventures, bringing both creativity and satisfaction to my professional journey.
