Currently, I serve as Senior Legislative Aide for Senator Joe Gruters in the Florida Senate, where I support the office in administrative, public relations, and legislative activities. Splitting my time between Sarasota and Tallahassee, I bring enthusiasm, courage, and strong communication skills to my work, driven by a deep love for my country and a desire to use my gifts to serve others.This new role builds on a career defined by agility and innovation. As a small business owner, I’ve led the operations, sales, and marketing of Playtri Sarasota. With our incredible team, we transformed what was once a transactional bike shop into a thriving fitness hub for the Sarasota community. My entrepreneurial journey reflects my passion for uncharted territories and my ability to excel in first-time situations.Beyond my professional roles, I am proud to serve as a board member of the Sarasota Manatee Bicycle Club, the oldest cycling club in the area, where I advocate for fitness, bicycle safety, and the joy of cycling.
