Get To Know Me

What lights me up?

The magic of everyday synchronicities, trail runs that feel more like moving meditations, sparkles, women’s circles, friend dates, harmonies, dance parties on mountain tops (join me!), seeing people go for it.

What did I do before this?

I started in non-profits, got my MBA in my late 20s, worked in biz + marketing for a while, had my own activewear start-up, then back to biz and marketing until I decided to quit it all in 2019 and pursue a fully creative + entrepreneurial path. Fully embracing the long way around. 

Birthday, Signs + Human Design

Born June 30th, 1982 and fully claim my grandma millennial status.

Cancer Sun (water baby for life), Leo Rising (gimme the mic!) and Scorpio moon (y’all, let’s go deeeep).

5/1 Manifesting Generator (i.e. multi passionate person here to do many things).

What are my favorite ways to celebrate?

SO MANY!!! Sitting in a circle with people I love sharing our wins. Getting rowdy - lots of singing, dancing, and just generally being silly. Enjoying simple luxuries - a special tea, an extra ccozy blanket, a fancy sweet treat, a nourishing meal. Wearing sparkly things! Airplane arming down a mountain trail.

Where am I from?

Raised in upstate New York by a college business professor (my dad) and a therapist (my mom) and thanks to them I have pretty much spent my whole life surrounded by teachers and social workers. I learned a lot :) 

How did I get started with photography?

I always loved taking photos but didn’t actually pick up a camera until 2021 (I was so intimidated by the technical stuff). Once I learned some of the basics a whole world of play opened up for me. I started taking photos of friends in their favorite places and that’s when I discovered my love for portrait photography and creating a whole experience around being seen in front of a camera.

What gives me butterflies?

Sharing my voice, trying something new creatively, telling a truth to someone I love, heights, solo traveling, surprises.
