Read moreAs Chief Operating Officer of Coastal Energy, I lead operations and business development with a focus on helping Florida homeowners and businesses build more resilient, energy-efficient properties. Our work spans solar energy, battery backup, roofing, HVAC, smart electrical systems, and energy-efficiency solutions designed to lower energy costs, improve reliability, and protect properties from Florida’s challenging weather conditions.
Florida property owners face a unique combination of rising energy costs, severe weather, and the risk of extended power outages. My focus at Coastal Energy is building practical solutions that help customers generate and store their own power, strengthen their homes and businesses, and reduce their dependence on the electrical grid.
Before joining Coastal Energy, I spent 10 years as a project manager and IT consultant, helping small businesses improve operations and grow through technology, digital marketing, SEO and SEM, WordPress, and Google Workspace. I also founded Florida Electric Rentals, a Tesla fleet EV rental company serving Southwest Florida, Orlando, and Miami.
I hold a degree in Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship from Florida Gulf Coast University and am fluent in English and Spanish.
Through my writing for Coastal Energy, I aim to provide Florida homeowners and businesses with clear, practical information about solar energy, battery storage, roofing, HVAC, electrical systems, energy efficiency, and property resilience so they can make better-informed decisions about their homes, businesses, and energy needs.
