I find beauty in the everyday — in a well-planned meal, a sun-drenched trail, a perfectly curated outfit, and a well-built home. I'm passionate about caring for the people and places I love.

My Story Say Hello

About Me

Living with intention

For the past few years I've been doing one of the most important jobs there is — showing up for my family. I'm my dad's primary caregiver, which means I manage his meals, appointments, shopping, and finances with the same care and organization I once put into code.

I'm a San Diego girl at heart who loves nature, style, and the feeling of a space that's truly taken care of. These days I'm channeling that into a new direction: becoming a licensed home inspector. Because great homes, like great lives, are built on a solid foundation.

I'm also a mom, a fashion lover, a builder, and someone who believes you can reinvent yourself as many times as life calls for it.

The Outdoors

Finding peace in nature

There's something grounding about stepping outside — whether it's a coastal walk, a desert landscape, or the city alive with golden-hour light. These are moments that restore me.

Style

Fashion as self-expression

Style is how I tell my story without saying a word. I've always been drawn to the intersection of elegance and ease — pieces that feel as good as they look, curated with intention.

I share my picks, inspiration, and everyday looks over on my fashion blog. Whether it's a coastal-casual vibe or something a little more polished, it's always authentically me.

What's Next

Becoming a
Home Inspector

I'm working toward becoming a licensed home inspector — and the more I learn about it, the more I know it's the right fit. It combines everything I'm naturally drawn to: caring for spaces, protecting families, and understanding how things are built.

An eye for detail Years of caregiving and household management have trained me to notice what others overlook — and to take it seriously.

Protecting families A home inspection is about more than a checklist. It's about helping a family feel safe in the place they're about to call home.

Independence & flexibility A career that lets me work on my own terms, be present for my family, and build something that's truly mine.

I share the full recipes with ingredients and step-by-step instructions. And yes, real photos are coming as I cook each one!

Also Me

I also build things

Before caregiving became my full-time focus, I was a software engineer — bootcamp grad, client work, enterprise Java. That technical foundation still shapes how I think and problem-solve every day.
