Tori Hessler-Allen
Processing Coordinator
Hi, I’m Tori! I grew up in Virginia, but I’ve moved twice before- once to Alabama and once to Florida! A mermaid at heart, I absolutely love the ocean. Searching for shells and sharks teeth is my favorite way to pass the time and I am very proud of my collection that I’ve grown over many
years! When I’m not at the beach, I like to spend my time with my significant other, family and friends, reading good books, and hula-hooping my heart out to some groovy tunes. I am a “fur mama” to two crazy dog sons who love to be outside as much as I do and we really like playing catch and watching birds. I love to appreciate the little things in life and I strive to always find the joy in every little crevice of the world.
