For the past 9 years I have worked in the Parks and Recreation industry, where over time my role has evolved from art instructor to coordinator. Whether it’s planning large scale community events or leading more intimate classroom settings, creativity has been the cornerstone for all I do and pursue.  Read More>>

One of my favorite affirmations is:
“Stay rooted, but never stop growing.” 

I love this because it speaks to balance—honoring where you come from and who you are at your core, while always evolving, learning, and expanding. As Tarrant_Twin, building my brand and sharing my journey online, I try to stay grounded in authenticity while pushing myself creatively and personally. Read More>>

I am a strong believer in change and am grateful that I can reach and educate people through all the different services I offer ! As a prenatal yoga teacher I have a certain responsibility to shed light on birth choices & options – it is so important that we bring awareness back about the normalcy of physiological birth.. So much of our life is impacted by the way we are born/give birth.
In addition to teaching prenatal yoga, I love guiding people through restorative journeys, inviting them to go deeper on all levels, relax, restore and ultimately heal. Read More>>

When I think about the legacy I want to leave as a model and as Miss Arizona 2025, I want it to be rooted in authenticity, purpose, and impact. I want people to remember me not just for how I looked on stage, but for how I used my voice, my platform, and my heart to uplift others. My journey is about more than a title—it’s about transformation, connection, and creating space for others to rise. Read More>>

Whether through my creativity, my businesses, or my everyday interactions, I hope people felt seen, inspired, and empowered in my presence. Read More>>

For me, it all starts with mindset. In a business-like real estate, people often focus on memorizing scripts or following formulas, but I’ve found that the real key to success is how you show up mentally and emotionally. Working on my mindset has helped me stay consistent, push through challenges, and stay grounded through all the ups and downs. Read More>>

The most important factor behind the success of both Fetch This Canine and Revive & Thrive Canine Wellness has been staying focused on what truly matters: the dog’s well-being.

For Fetch This Canine, it’s about helping dogs and their people build clear, kind communication and trust so they can enjoy life together. Training isn’t just about commands; it’s about creating connection and confidence for both ends of the leash. Read More>>
