About Me


i'm a fun, beach loving person. i work in corporate america...but work from home 3 days a week so it's actually pretty cool. i run a non-profit organization for women surfers in jacksonville beach, florida...sisters of the sea. our group puts on the biggest all girl surf contest in florida. each year we've been able to raise about $5000 to donate to a local breast cancer organization. i just graduated from UNF with my MBA. i was a great experience...and now i'm on to the next great experience. i love to surf...and to travel to surf...and to meet others who share my passion for the sport. the ocean is part of what makes my world go 'round. i have a heart for service and enjoy volunteering for other non-profits such as the first coast surfrider foundation and the american legion post 129 auxiliary club. i hope to make a difference in my community...and to do my part in making the world a better place!

Your Element is Water
Your power colors: blue and aqua
Your energy: deep
Your season: winter
Like the ocean, you evoke deep feelings and passion. You have an emotional, sensitive, and spiritual soul. A bit mysterious, you tend to be quiet when you are working out a problem. You need your alone time, so that you can think and dream. What Element Are You?

Your Match: ESFJ


The Caregiver
You are sympathetic and caring, putting friends and family first. A creature of habit, you prefer routines and have trouble with change. You love being in groups - whether you're helping people or working on a project. You are good at listening, laughing, and bringing out the best in people. You would make a great nurse, social worker, or teacher. What's Your Personality Type?
Your Seduction Style: The Natural
You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast. What Is Your Seduction Style?
