I'm a multi-faceted visual artist currently living just outside NYC. Similarly to my plants, I propagate skill sets and tend to them like they might also expire without care and attention; however,  my main focus is multimedia illustration. 

I am currently preparing to graduate Montclair State University in 2024 with my BA in Animation & Illustration. I was very honored to receive the John & Rose Cali scholarship for dedication to a career in the arts upon receipt of my application essay and portfolio when I returned to academia in 2021. 

As a non-traditional student, when you work with me you also get 18 years of well-developed soft skills. A decade of experience in hospitality and customer service have bestowed me with strong communication and problem-solving skills, the ability to take notes well, and stay calm in fast-paced, stressful environments. My long and varied work history, and penchant for DIY-everything has also made me a strong self-starter and lateral thinker, and quick to learn new things. 

Most of my life I have operated as an outsider artist, so I am excited to get involved in bringing ideas and worlds to life within a community of passionate, driven people. 

I also have a dog named Sage and a cat named Peach.
