I grew up in Sunrise, Florida, where the majority of my school field trips included going to the Everglades and visiting lots of national parks around the state. I've eaten alligator (it really does taste like chicken), but I've never had an alligator show up in my backyard. I’ve lived in a few different cities once I left my parents’ nest—Tallahassee (where I went to Florida State University, Go Noles!), Boston, and now I’m back in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
At home, I have a rambunctious cat named Marley. In my spare time, I can largely be found training and/or competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, photographing Jiu Jitsu tournaments to support the community, attending local comedy shows, or soaking up some sun by a pool with a good cocktail in hand. If i’m feeling particularly indoorsy, you can find me in my Target dragon onesie playing some action-adventure or puzzle games on my Nintendo Switch, or catching up on the list of tv shows that everyone says I should watch but I never actually got around to watching.
