Born and raised in Los Angeles, I have lived an adventure-filled life. I have traveled and lived all over the world, including a year of being a nanny in Vienna, Austria, a winter in Colorado learning how NOT to drive in the snow, a summer in a tent in Alaska making jewelry, a month working at a restaurant in Greece, three years of living in hotels all over the world on tour with Cirque du Soleil, and 12 years in Oregon honing my graphic design and illustration skills. I moved to Goleta in October 2020 to help my beautiful, loving, funny, smart, and artistically talented sister Christine through cancer treatments. She sadly lost her battle in June of 2021. Losing her has changed me, and I will never be the same again.
I received a beautiful vision from her to “follow the joy” as she lay in a peaceful coma the day before she passed. I have been slowly learning to do just that, which has led me to focusing on music, writing, illustration, hand lettering, surface pattern and textile design. Some of my life goals are to be a New York Times best-selling author, to start a non-profit organization, to sing in a band, to write a screenplay that gets turned into a movie starring Kristen Wiig, the attainment of spiritual enlightenment, and to live a nomadic lifestyle writing and creating art and music all over the world.
In my free time, I enjoy the Southern California sunshine, reading, bird watching, singing, songwriting, psychology, tap dance, ping pong, knitting, making jewelry, travel, improv and acting. I am also writing and illustrating my very first book and relearning how to roller skate.
