Over the past few years, I’ve poured my energy into building LunaSol Vacations from the ground up. What started as an idea during my time in college has grown into an intentionally curated vacation rental company serving properties in Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach. Earning my Bachelor’s degree in Finance gave me the foundation to understand the numbers behind building a successful business. Much of my work focuses on leveraging new tools in the vacation rental industry and using property management systems to their fullest potential. With LunaSol, I’ve built a structured approach to short-term rentals using automation, thoughtful marketing, and streamlined operations to help properties perform at their highest potential. Rather than treating vacation homes like simple listings, we approach them more like hospitality brands, focusing on presentation, guest experience, and strategic positioning in competitive markets. Recently, I relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, where I’m focused on continuing to grow LunaSol Vacations and building new relationships in the area. While our operations in Pensacola continue to run smoothly with the support of an operations manager overseeing our properties, much of my focus is on improving the company’s systems, marketing, and online presence. I’m also currently involved with Whealth Social, a community built around event-based marketing centered on health, wellness, and meaningful connection. Through curated gatherings, workouts, and social events, Whealth Social brings together people who value personal growth, healthy living, and strong community. Previously, I helped support Run Roast Refresh in Pensacola, another community initiative that combined running, coffee, and local connection — reinforcing my belief that the strongest communities are built through shared experiences. Outside of business, soccer has always been a big part of my life, shaping how I think about teamwork, discipline, and leadership. Those lessons continue to influence how I approach building businesses and collaborating with others. As LunaSol continues to grow, my goal is to expand into new markets like Charleston while continuing to serve property owners along the Gulf Coast. I’m always interested in connecting with people who share a passion for entrepreneurship, hospitality, real estate, and building strong communities.
