Six years ago, I picked up a used Canon Rebel T6 off Facebook Marketplace, not realizing it was about to change how I see and interact with the world. I would have never called myself an artist back then, but now, I can't imagine life without a creative outlet.

Whether I'm holding a camera, giving old furniture new life, or writing poetry, creating art is how I slow down and process life's stressors, noise, the way things used to be, and how they are now.

It’s why you’ll usually find me living life at a photographer’s pace—slowing down, breathing it all in, and noticing the quiet details most people miss.

Outside the creative realm, I’m a mom to two incredible humans, a weightlifter, softball player, supreme jokester, and avid traveler.
