My love of plants began with many years working in a greenhouse at a local plant nursery, where I developed a strong foundation in plant care and horticulture. I went on to attend North Central Texas College, earning my Associate of Science in Horticulture in 2021, along with certificates in Landscape Design, Sustainable Horticulture, and Horticulture Management.

I also attended Purdue University, where I was accepted into the Plant Genetics, Breeding, and Biotechnology program. During my time there, I realized that while I loved the science behind plants, my true passion was working more directly with people—sharing knowledge, teaching others, and helping them experience the joy of growing their own gardens. That realization ultimately helped shape the path I’m on today.

For the past several years, I’ve worked as a professional horticulturist caring for large estates, with experience in landscape maintenance and hands-on garden care. I’m also currently pursuing my arborist certification through the International Society of Arboriculture to continue expanding my knowledge of trees and their care.

Outside of my professional work, you’ll find me in my own garden, growing herbs for tea, pollinator-friendly plants, and plenty of vegetables. Gardening is more than a profession to me—it’s something that continually brings me a sense of wonder, peace, and connection to the natural world.

Today, I bring together my horticultural education, professional experience, and love of teaching to help others feel more confident in their gardens. My goal is not just to help you grow plants, but to help you discover the joy, wonder, and connection that can come from spending time in the garden.
