Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

What makes Richmond a great place to be out?: It’s a great mix between city life and slowing down to “smell the roses”. You can be in on the action/nightlife or chill by going to a pumpkin or strawberry farm. There is a little something for EVERYONE.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the Richmond Region?: Lately I’ve been into going to the river.

What do you do here?: I work full time for a non-profit, volunteer at a local elementary school, and enjoy outdoor activities when time allows.

What’s your favorite restaurant?: I loved Bar Louie and definitely miss them, Amigos on Staples Mill is also a favorite. We used to go about twice a week, but we had to cut back to focus on getting healthy.

What would you tell somebody who has never been to Richmond before?: There is plenty to do you just have to find the kind of crowd you’re looking for!

How do you spend your free time?: Working out! Each morning I go to A New You Wellness Center for protein shakes and a workout. I’ve recently lost over 50 pounds and I’m still working to get stronger and meet my fitness goals.

How do you describe our LGBTQ community?: I just recently have gotten involved with organizations in the community. I would say unified. Many groups can together for the marches and rally’s in efforts to support the BLM movement.
