ABOUT

Location: Portland, Oregon

I'm happiest when I'm creating something.

Creating art, friendship, community, and entertainment are my strongest desires. Leaving something better than I found it.

My dream is to inspire and help others be the greatest version of themselves.

While I am passionate about my different disciplines, I recognize that there is always more to learn and that I am still growing in each of them. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to explore and develop my skills, and seek more in the future.
