Born and raised in Miami, FL and moved to St. George in March 2022 from Pennsylvania. Joined Swenson Financial in January 2023 and recently graduated from University of Phoenix with a Bachelor’s degree in Management. I’m a dog mom to a 13 year old cocker spaniel named Lady and a 4 year old Brittany named Kuzco. I love all things Disney and traveling. I spend my free time reading, watching true crime documentaries, and spending quality time with my husband and fur babies.
