Hi Dimes, 

 

I’m Ina and I was raised in Smithfield, North Carolina in a household full of creative women. In December of 2018, I graduated from Appalachian State University with a B.S. in Broadcast Communication and a Minor in Spanish.  Now, I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Business Administration. 

 

When I’m not working, I enjoy visiting my family, catching up on The Office, or reading a book. I  find joy in exploring new cities, trying new foods, and catching up with friends. Because I grew up accustomed to constantly being around people, I am working on becoming comfortable with my own company and discovering who “Ina” is.  

 

As I develop into my true self, my goal is to take more risks and open myself to loving others while being loved. I want to learn how to embrace vulnerability - which is why I’m excited about developing tpp! I’d like to welcome you all into my thoughts and experiences.  To be honest, I never considered myself a writer until after I graduated from college, but I’ve always been pretty good at it and I’m kinda proud. My point is, I’m not perfect nor am I the most confident person, but I’m willing to share myself with the hopes of you doing the same. So, let’s explore this thing called life together!

Hi Dimes,

 

I’m from Statesville, NC, raised by two loving, breathing superheroes! In May of 2018, I became a first-generation college graduate. Graduating from Appalachian State University with a B.S. in Public Relations and a Minor in Marketing.

​

Shortly after graduating, I moved to Jamestown, NC and secured a full-time hustle as an Event Coordinator and kept my side hustle as a Jewelry Consultant.  My free time consists of relieving some stress at the gym, discovering the town’s hidden jewels, indulging in reality tv, or loving on my friends and family.

​

As I journey through life, my goal is to establish a foundation that will sustain generations to come, spread grace, love and be loved, have fun and look damn good while doing it. How and what any of that looks like, I’m not sure and that is part of the reason I am here. To challenge me and you to get out of our comfort zone, face the nuances of life head-on, and captivate the simple bliss of living.   So grab your purses, collect your coins and follow ttp as we grow, play and journey together.
