I’ve been expressing myself through writing and visual work since childhood—first as a navigation tool, and eventually as a way of listening more closely to life. Cultural, philosophical, and somatic studies AND living abroad have shaped my interest in the connection between body, land, and community.

I left high school early and became a first-generation college student with studies (bilingual/cross-cultural studies, English literature, and language immersion in Oaxaca) shaped by self-inquiry as a bi-cultural person. This was followed by a period of activism through arts projects and community-based visioning and then living abroad in Belize, Italy, and Greece where I studied classical art and western art history.

My current passion project is Chispa Park—a distillation of my skills as a creative and a bodyworker, designed to support families and children in finding connection to each other through noticing. It’s influenced by field study, farm work, and Ayurveda-informed inquiry into the unique little universes swirling inside us all.
