A Bit About Me
I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and have spent my life exploring the intersection of language, culture, and business. My passion for global communication led me to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where I majored in Language and World Business, focusing on Romance Languages and International Management. During my time at UT, I had the opportunity to study abroad in southern Spain, where I spent over half a year mastering conference interpreting and immersing myself in a multilingual, multicultural environment. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and was honored as the Outstanding Graduate of my degree program.
Throughout college, I balanced multiple roles—holding internships with both small Latino non-profits and large multinational corporations like HCA, working seasonal retail jobs, and tutoring UT athletes in language studies. I was also heavily involved in technical theatre at the Clarence Brown Theatre, contributing to several performances behind the scenes, where I developed a love for storytelling and precision in execution.
​
After graduating, I returned to Nashville and began my career in tech, starting at Lyft’s corporate operations before being headhunted just three months later by Caterpillar, where my career truly took off. It was during this time that my path took a meaningful turn—one night, while celebrating the birthday of my best friend Justin Sweatman-Weaver, I met Kevin Turner, the man who would become my husband. This is why we are the Bryan Turner group. We married in December 2023, and together, we’ve built a beautiful life in the heart of downtown Nashville, raising our two beloved fur children, Florence and Karma. Kevin works for another prominent company with a strong Nashville presence, and we are both committed to growing and thriving in the city we love.

The Bryan Turner Group
The company was officially founded on December 3, 2024, in honor of Evan’s best friend, Justin Sweatman-Weaver, who passed away that same day. Justin was Evan’s greatest advocate, always pushing him to take control of his future and build something of his own. He was ready to be the first employee in and the last one out every day, fully dedicated to making The Bryan Turner Group a success. More than just a supporter, Justin believed in the power of wealth redistribution and community growth, values that now sit at the core of the company’s mission. His legacy continues through company traditions, initiatives for small business empowerment, and direct support for his family. The Bryan Turner Group is committed to looking after Justin’s niece, ensuring she has access to educational financial assistance through funds contributed via his GoFundMe. Justin’s beloved dog, Karma, has also been welcomed into Evan’s home, joining their only fur child, Florence, as a lasting reminder of his spirit and dedication to making the world better.
