My creative journey started almost 19 years ago. I've dabbled in graphic design, led as a teacher, and expressed myself as an artist. Over the past 13 years, I've been fortunate enough to accomplish and receive the following awards, both for my own work and as an art educator:

​

  Award: 2nd Place in Photography

I wear many hats as an artist, including but not limited to: UX/UI designer, art director, graphic designer, teacher, writer, creative, volunteer, mother, travel enthusiast, yogi, and nature lover. Most importantly, I am a never-ending evolving being.

​

I believe that we all have a purpose, and it is up to each of us to embrace it and follow it wherever it may take us.
