As a proud Key West resident for over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working in the vibrant travel and tourism industries that make our island such a special destination. Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, I fell in love with Key West’s unique charm, stunning sunsets, and welcoming community. My passion lies in helping others explore and enjoy this tropical paradise, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Key West thrives on tourism—without it, our island’s culture, economy, and way of life wouldn’t exist. There are no major exports here except for the unforgettable experiences and cherished moments shared by everyone who visits. Whether through blogs, tours, or personal recommendations, I’m dedicated to sharing the magic of Key West with travelers from all over the world.
