Jacksonville stole my heart. I came to Jacksonville in 2012 to pursue a college degree at the University of North Florida and I’ve never looked back.

I graduated college, started my career, and truly just love this city. I am always advocating for disability rights, access and inclusion through my platform Wheellifeconnections. I was your Ms. Wheelchair USA in 2022 and have even been a speaker with TedxJacksonville. I work full-time in Sales Support and am also a mouth artist (I paint with my mouth)! I love being a part of this community! In my opinion, we are a very accessible city for people with disabilities and I’m really excited to show you all that we have to offer.

What do you love most about Jacksonville?

The thing I love most about Jacksonville is how open to new ideas this community is. They’re always looking for ways to include everyone in our community’s local events and within businesses.

What is one thing you tell a visitor that they must see/do when in Jax?

I love all of our beautiful waterways here so it’s either a trip to the beach or a walk along our river walk. I find both to be extremely peaceful and just beautiful to look at.

Where is your favorite local spot to eat?

This is such a hard question because we are such a unique spot for different types of food. I love that not only do we have so many local restaurants but we also have food trucks, coffee shops, and bakeries as well. If there is a food you are craving, I promise you can find a great local restaurant that serves it!
