Where it all began...
Where it all began...
I was born in Pembroke Pines, FL on September 3rd, 1999. From a very young age, I loved playing outdoors. Drinking from the hose, digging for worms, fishing and planting trees created some of my best childhood memories. My mother and father made sure screen time was kept to a minimum as I grew up, and I cannot thank them enough. Because of this, I've fallen completely in love with the nature our beautiful sunshine state has to offer. 25 years later, here in Orlando, FL, I'm still fishing, hiking, planting trees and getting my hands dirty as much as possible. Since graduating from The University of Central Florida with a bachelor's degree, I have continued my education in Horticulture and landscape design ever since.
Back in 2021, while still in college, I began working at the #1 rated nursery and garden center in the State of Florida. This was the perfect opportunity for me to learn and acquire priceless knowledge about everything pertaining to the horticultural field. My boss, may he rest in peace, shared his passion for plants and the outdoors with me for years. He truly sparked a fire in my heart. Countless times he picked me up in his golf cart and took me over to his house which has one of the most incredible food forests I've ever seen. Mangos, bananas, guavas, grapes, mulberry; the list goes on. In a way, I truly believe he helped me discover my purpose in life.
Today, I can proudly say that I am an FNGLA (Florida Nursery, Growers, and Landscape Association) Certified Horticulturalist in the state of Florida installing sustainable landscaping and food forests for my valued customers. I would love nothing more than for you to be a part of this journey.
