Hi, I’m Bree!


I am a Midwest native, and have lived in Albuquerque for three years with my husband and our daughter, as well as our three dachshunds.

While my degree is in child psychology and family sciences from Purdue (Boiler Up!), my professional experience has been in digital marketing and social media management.

My internship for college was at Disney World, and it’s probably my most favorite job I’ve ever had. My family and I visit often! This has led to many opportunities, such as being a Travel Consultant for Crown to Castle Travel, a luxury travel agency specializing in Disney destinations.


I have owned my own business for the last three years, Bee Kind Boutique. You’ve probably seen us around town at various events!

When my husband’s job took us to Albuquerque back in 2022, I wasn’t sure what to expect. At first, I struggled with the change. The unfamiliar landscape, the quiet pace, and the fact that I had to leave behind the life I knew left me feeling disconnected and uncertain. But as time passed, I decided to give the city a chance. Slowly, I began to explore its hidden gems — from the vibrant arts scene and the historic Old Town to the stunning sunsets over the Sandia Mountains. I ventured out to local cafes, attended festivals, and hiked the trails, discovering a community full of warmth and unique charm. Now, I can’t imagine living anywhere else; Albuquerque has become home in ways I never thought possible.

Now why share my experience online? I have always loved being a resource for my friends whether it be a recommendation or the latest research I am doing. I always saw myself doing it with my own business. When I found myself leaving my job to stay home with my daughter and we saw a need for local resource here in Albuquerque, I jumped at the opportunity to combine my professional experience and personal passions by starting Keeping Up in Albuquerque.

Can’t wait to explore Albuquerque with you <3
