When I'm not spending time making memories with my wonderful husband, Zak, and my sweet daughter, Aaliyah, whether we're visiting Disney World, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, the Brevard Zoo, or enjoying a beautiful day at the beach, you can usually find me pouring my heart into serving my family, my businesses, and our community.
As Mrs. Palm Bay Florida and Mrs. Brevard County Florida, I am blessed to wear many hats as an entrepreneur, children's advocate, author, and storyteller. I own and operate three businesses that each reflect a different part of who I am. Jamieson Flooring Solutions is our family-owned flooring company that specializes in delivering the floors of your dreams, from polished concrete and epoxy coatings to a wide variety of commercial and residential flooring solutions. Breezy Palms Bookkeeping combines my passion for numbers, organization, and problem-solving while helping small business owners thrive and focus on what they do best.
Lumina Hope is truly my heart. Through our handmade candles and soaps, we help fund life-changing initiatives that bring hope and joy to children facing critical illness and trauma, including Courage Baskets, Queen Story Time, and Tea, Tales, & Tiaras. Every product purchased helps create meaningful moments for children and their families.
I am also a children's author and have written three books in the Princess Aaliyah series, inspired by my daughter and my desire to help cultivate courage, compassion, service, and virtue in the hearts of young readers. I believe stories have the power to heal, to transport a child to another world, provide comfort during difficult seasons, and offer hope in moments of fear, stress, and uncertainty.
My passion for storytelling extends beyond the pages of my books. I am the host of Confessions of a Beauty Queen, my Spotify podcast where I share the authentic and often untold stories behind pageantry, motherhood, faith, philanthropy, and purpose. Through heartfelt conversations and personal experiences, I hope to inspire others to use their gifts and platforms to make a meaningful impact in the world.
At my core, I believe every child deserves to feel seen, valued, loved, and filled with hope. Whether through literacy, service, entrepreneurship, or advocacy, my mission is to bring light into the lives of our most vulnerable little heroes and remind others that one act of kindness can change a life.
Won't you join me on this journey?
About

Every Courage Basket is a reminder that these little heroes are seen, loved, and never alone in their journey.
Queen Storytime
at Local Schools
This magical story time experience brings literacy, kindness, and imagination to local schools throughout Brevard County. Dressed in crown and sash, I read inspiring children's stories, lead interactive activities, and encourage students to dream big, serve others, and develop virtues such as courage, compassion, and kindness. My mission is to show every child that they are seen, valued, and capable of making a positive impact in the world, one story at a time.
