It's up to us to begin to overcome hardships, obstacles, manager better our stresses, anxieties, fear and worries to not let it stop us in our tracks.
We once learned in some aspect of our lives that if we let what others determined for us to govern us, then we will stop there, not having met anything of purpose that was destined for us.
TIMELINE OF obstacles overcome/achievements
START OF HER Career: focused in Communications & marketing joining Photography to the mix
In 1997 - I had been told not to bother applying to four year colleges cause I probably wouldn't get in.
- I was discouraged based on grades, but I decide to disregard the strong opinions and chose to apply anyhow being inspired by the movie "With Honors" about a college graduate.
in 2001 - I went on to graduate top of my college class with two honors programs in a Business Communications degree. I had determined prior to applying to schools that I would achieve this outrageous quest.
In 2001- 2009
I began incorporate my love for photography throughout each of the marketing roles I held and was steered into photoshoots at these major corporations. My photography work started to make it into nationally published magazines like Vogue as well as on the cover of a local Bostonian magazine called South Shore Living as mainly self taught photographer despite the fear based thinking of family and ultimately myself of all the what if's and how could I do what I hadn't known before.Upon Graduation started in positions in marketing. Leading marketing initiatives for an insurance agency, a high end floral company, & commercial real estate companies in Boston, Massachusetts. Also, worked as a freelance photographer. Photography began getting recognition and work was featured in several publication.

2009 moved to napa valley, California to pursing a living among the environment she wished to propel her dreams that lead to the need to communicate clients brands through social media + written articles + photography
In 2010 - The new branding of my company name was revealed to me in a my own guided mediation practice. The name "Bigshot" spoke to me loudly.2010-2019
- I went on to cover major red carpeted events using my passion of hearing all the inspiring stories of those I would interview which was that of both celebrities and the locals within Napa, moved with passion and the zest for life running through my bones. I was blessed to have been featured in numerous publications for both photography mentions, and entrepreneurial strides I had made having left the only world I knew in Boston, MA. It was then that I knew others needed to hear more of believing in themselves, and having the story they tell themselves resonate so they can be fully capable of living all they desire no matter what the struggles. There were financial struggles having lived what my passion and paving my own way but it was a greater notion that proved that living my soul's purpose came with such satisfaction. To continue to stay striving beyond all the stuck-ness of what life handed me it was important to move past what others thought were unrealistic goals into a believe in the side of myself that was all knowing and had trust in this purpose for myself that all was in fact possible. The means by which I moved past obstacles with the habit and mindset shifts is what changed me. This is what I offer my viewers and my clients.Find articles featured in California Home and Design, Wine & Hospitality, Napa Valley Life Magazine, and Photography featured in print below
