Growing up in a family of avid gardeners with a profound love of nature, you could say I was destined to work with plants in some capacity. Ever since my journey took me down the path of professional gardening and floristry, I can honestly say I have not worked a day in my life. I love what I do and the people I have the privilege of designing for.
Founded in 2019, Natural Florals is the culmination of four very personal convictions of mine. 1. I believe that climate change is real. Every person has a choice to do better by and be better to our planet. I choose to not make exceptions in my personal or professional lives. 2. I firmly believe that making positive change can start with women supporting one another. I hire women from all walks of life and provide them with a supportive working environment. I also choose to provide services that benefit women in my community. 3. Love is love. I am here to support that message through my business and in my personal life. 4. Philanthropy is a privilege. If you are able and willing, support local industry and non-profits. While you are at it, support your local pollinators too. They need you!!

I teamed up with Sarah in May of 2019 as her design assistant and coordinator. I am a mom of two boys and a social worker. In the summer months, my garden is a place I love to spend time with my boys and handsome husband. We grow strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, tomatoes and flowers. In addition to gardening and floral design, I express myself though contemporary dance at Feet First Dance Center in Phoenixville, Pa.
I grow my own fruit and vegetables in raised beds that I built from reclaimed materials.
When I cannot find humans to model my flower crowns, I use my two 75 pound (plus) rescue dogs, Cosmo and Mocha.
I swam with dolphins in Bermuda.
I am obsessed with true crime.
My flower van is also my camper van. My father and I converted it to be multi-purpose!
I have a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology, minors in Ethnic Studies and Music, and a Masters in International Peace and Conflict Resolution with a certification in Peace Education, K-12.
My favorite flower is a native plant to Pennsylvania, purple echinecea better known as cone flower.
