By day, I’m navigating K-12 technology as a school district technology director, but as soon as I’m done for the day, I’m trading spreadsheets for soil. I’m an "after-hours" gardener fueled by a mission to feed my family (veggies and herbs) and soothe my soul (flowers, flowers, and more flowers). This year, I’m officially moving from "flower enthusiast" to "floral entrepreneur" as I venture into selling my arrangements.

I’m also leaning into my role as a local plant matchmaker—expanding into native perennials to keep the neighborhood pollinators happy and well-fed. When I’m not arranging bouquets, you’ll find me geekily saving seeds or hovering over my winter-sowing experiments like a proud plant parent. Whether it’s a bouquet for your table or a habitat for the bees, I’m here to grow something beautiful.
