Being named the 2024 Volusia Young Professional of the Year is a tremendous honor for me for many reasons. I moved to Volusia County 4 short years ago, knowing nobody outside of my parents and it has been extremely rewarding to build a career and personal/professional network so quickly.

To be recognized by this community and network of peers and mentors feels very special. I feel like the Community has truly wrapped its arms around me. I owe a great thanks to my colleagues at Brown & Brown Insurance, the Volusia Young Professionals Group, and the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce who have always sought out opportunities to include me in bettering our collective Home.
