It’s nice to meet you!

  • I love all things Disney. Movies, Disney parks, Disney merchandise…I’m a superfan. It doesn’t matter that I’m in my 40’s, I still line up to meet Mickey and cry when the fireworks start at Magic Kingdom. It’s in my DNA!

  • My husband and I own seven dogs (Yes, 7!), a bearded dragon, a rabbit, and a Congo African grey. I once trained alligators as a side gig. My favorite alligator’s name was Chewie, and he was approximately 6 feet long.

  • I’ve cared for everything from snakes, primates, alligators, and dolphins. My claim to fame is that I helped to train Winter the Dolphin when she was learning to wear her prosthetic tail.

  • I sell 3D-printed and laser-engraved gifts on Etsy, along with some finished crochet products. (Fun fact: my dog, Stitch, was the inspiration for my business logo)

  • I once had the opportunity to help teach a news anchor how to swim in a tail for a special news segment.

  • I love learning new skills, so you will find me doing everything from pottery, crochet, doodling on my ipad, creating digital designs, learning to build websites (like this one!), trying to take the perfect photo (especially at Disney World!), writing blogs and stories, creating social media content, and SO much more!

Who am I? I am an animal-loving, small business owning, crafty, Disney-quoting ball of personality! I’ll start you off slow with a few fun facts about me:
