I started Pinteresting Plans in 2016 when I was home with two babies and my husband had just gotten out of rehab. We had no money but I wanted to elevate my home so I discovered DIY projects on Pinterest and decided to start sharing my projects on the internet. That same year, as I navigated starting public social media accounts, I found giving outfit ideas and fashion tips was something that could help my audience as well.

I love a good save or splurge moment! There are items worth investing in (buy nice, or buy twice), but there are also so many retailers making amazing look for less options in both the home and fashion spaces. I’m looking to uncover the best options and give you transparent advice on how to elevate your style no matter your starting point.

After leaving my job as a nurse practitioner in 2018 to pursue Pinteresting Plans full time I also started investing in real estate. A couple years later we decided to sell everything we owned in CT and move to scenic highway 30A along Florida’s northwest coast. As I shared our growing real estate portfolio in the area others were interested. We now own a real estate brokerage, named Stay on 30A Realty. I use that social media to offer a ton of free value to investors no matter what market you have fallen in love with. 

Our real estate business was growing so quickly it also turned into a property management company and interior design firm I am involved in. Did I also mention we started a school? I am a generator in the human design world!! I wake up with a lot of steady energy most days.

I loved the non traditional approach to learning after hearing about Acton Academy so we opened a school right across from the beach that my kids attend. Acton Academy of 30a is a non traditional school with a more individualized approach to education and real life application of interests.

I am grateful to have you here and hope I can help put style within reach!
