A Nevada native, I began my journey as a storyteller early on. I was intrigued by the concept of developing a new lens to experience life through, which made me gravitate towards the performing arts. I auditioned for and attended the Las Vegas Academy of the Performing Arts for theatre. In my studies, I grew an interest in the school magazine, and I quickly became the Assistant Editor. Journalism allowed my path to diverge and brought me to Reno, Nevada.

With a Bachelor's Degree in PR and Marketing, I have been able to creatively support local businesses and artists in telling their stories. It has been beautiful to have the tools to be a connector within this community. I love Nevada and I wish to continue to ground into its communities and beyond. I have remained a passionate storyteller, clear communicator, and embodied creative. I have utilized and explored every creative medium. As a storyteller, my diverse experience has allowed me to develop an unconventional creative eye, supporting my endeavors in every sphere.

Below you will see a glimpse into some of my most favorite and relevant creations. Thank you for this opportunity to take up space and make waves.
