IMAGINE THIS: A 5-foot powerhouse from a small town, who spent 8.5 years in Los Angeles soaking up big city vibes, now back in East Tennessee, living her dream by running a thriving business. From rocking the pageant stage to dirt track racing with her family, I’m all about blending creativity with action. Whether it’s crafting bold marketing strategies, empowering others through coaching, or being your biggest hype girl, I’m here to make an impact.
I'm so thrilled you've found me. In 2014, I moved from my hometown in Tennessee to Los Angeles, pursuing dreams of an acting career. But the industry's toxicity quickly turned me off, inspiring me to pivot and create my own reality show, "Not So Rich Not So Famous." It was successful, and I loved doing it!
Life took an unexpected turn when personal trauma and depression forced me to step back from my project and refocus my energy on healing my physical and mental health. This journey introduced me to the wellness industry, where I found my passion and became a Certified Personal Trainer. I went on to start my own wellness business and was just about to take it to an online platform when I got sick.
In 2020, I was diagnosed with COVID-19, which led to chronic health complications, including a brain injury and cardiovascular issues. This personal battle ignited a spark in me and while on my sickbed, I started "Blooming Magnolia," a nonprofit dedicated to supporting other Long COVID patients and advocating for mental health. Despite my health struggles, I've managed to appear on various media platforms and earn accolades, including a bronze award for the "Most Valuable Nonprofit Response" at the Stevie® Awards for Women in Business in 2021 and 2022.
In July 2022, I made a decision to leave Los Angeles, returning to my roots in East Tennessee. By 2023, I devoted myself full time to my business. I've gained certifications in Trauma Informed Coaching (Transcend) and am working towards becoming a Rapid Resolution Therapy® Specialist. I'm currently the reigning Ms. Tennessee Petite USA 2024 and placed in the top 11 nationally last year!
Now, I use my personal experiences and professional training to empower others to overcome their own challenges. I'm living proof that regardless of the circumstances, you can embrace your unique story and turn your dreams into reality. I can't wait to help you do the same!
here's my story
