Okayyy… I’M BACK on X! 👋🏾😂
I haven’t really been active over here in a while, and A LOT has changed. I chased my dream of working at sea 🚢, became a cruise host 🎤, traveled the world 🌍, built TJM Studios 📸 & turned 30.
New chapter. Bigger stories. Same TJ. 💜
Still not over the fact that working at sea can mean waking up, looking outside and realizing… oh, I’m in another COUNTRY today. 😂🌍🚢
Travel has changed the way I see the world—and made my “places I still need to visit” list WAY longer.
What’s next on yours? ✈️
Okay X, let’s talk CRUISE LIFE. 🚢🎤
I’ve worked at sea, hosted thousands of guests & traveled to some incredible places along the way.
What’s something you’ve ALWAYS wanted to know about working on a cruise ship? 👀
Ask me anything. ⬇️
30 feels different.
Less pressure to prove myself. More excitement about where life is taking me.
I’ve learned that not every detour means you’re lost. Sometimes the unexpected route becomes the best part of the story.
I’m not behind. I’m still becoming. 💜
My toxic trait is telling myself, “I’m packing light this time.” 😂
Then suddenly I need 6 outfits for a 3-day trip because… what if the VIBE changes?! 😭🧳
Please tell me I’m not the only one.
Most people know me with a microphone in my hand… but put a camera in my hand and I’m just as happy. 📸
TJM Studios is another piece of who I am—creating, capturing moments & telling stories from the other side of the lens.
🎤 ➡️ 📸 Same TJ. Different stage.
Travelers, I need answers! 🌍✈️
What’s ONE destination you visited that actually lived up to the hype?
Not “it was nice.” I wanna know the place that had you thinking, “Yeah… I’d come back TOMORROW.” 😂
Drop the city/country + tell me why. 👇🏾
Sometimes I look back at where my cruise journey started and think… you really had NO idea what you were getting yourself into. 😂🚢
One opportunity turned into memories, countries, friendships & a career I never imagined.
And the story is still being written. 🎤💜
Working on cruise ships has taught me one thing: you can experience an entire lifetime before lunch. 😂🚢
Hosting, helping guests, running across the ship… then realizing you’re in another country. 🌍🎤
And somehow, I LOVE the chaos.
10 yrs ago, I was a military senior who moved here a week before school started.
Now I’ve been inducted into the Alumni Hall of Honor, gave back as an educator, volunteer, & marketer—and finally chased my dreams.
SCUC isn’t just where I graduated…
It’s HOME. ���💛 #GoBuffs
🌈 It’s #PrideMonth in a world still learning how to love loudly.
To anyone afraid to come out, hiding parts of who they are—you don’t have to do it alone. Your truth is valid, your pace is yours, and when you're ready—we’re here.
Real ones don’t flinch. We celebrate you. 🏳️🌈
Touchin’ down in Texas and takin’ off on Carnival Breeze—ready to cruise, groove, and yeehaw with y’all! 🎉🤠🚢
