I grew up just across the South Carolina border in Rock Hill. After 18 years of living on a family farm, I went to USC in Columbia and majored in Public Relations. Life has taken many shifts and turns since college, taking me to live in Australia, Denver CO, and West Palm Beach FL. For me, it took moving away from the Charlotte area to appreciate home. I\\\\\\\’ve been back for a year now and am clear that I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. Charlotte is blossoming and we all live in one of the most up and coming cities in the country. I own my own massage therapy business in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood and live just down the street on Thomas Ave. I love the urban lifestyle, which allows me to walk to work, ride the bus to Uptown, ride my bike to Freedom Park and the occasional cab ride of debauchery. My passions are live music, local restaurants, eco-friendly living, urban environments and anything unique and creative.
