I have proudly called Columbia, SC my home since the age of 3 years old. I am a proud United States Air Force Veteran who served during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom after 9/11. My military experience strengthened my commitment to service, resilience, and the importance of community support and human connection.

As a disabled Veteran who lives with PTSD, I recognized the value and importance of staying connected to people. My passion has grown to bring people together, creating meaningful experiences and fostering real connections. I am turning that passion into a purposeful offering designed to combat the growing challenges of adult isolation, loneliness, and depression.
