REAL IS RARE
A different rhythm
about.
I was born with a congenital heart defect and had a few heart surgeries when I was little. Being told I’d never pilot a plane, play sports, or do anything “of that nature...” let's just say that was a great motivator to never stop moving, learning and creating!
So when they finally said you’re free to go, I got into everything - everything is art to me. I received a full ride to college on a volleyball scholarship as well as academic achievements that landed my first speaking opportunity as the graduating commencement speaker in 2012 at Lynn University.
I have the energy and will power to do things I love and won't stop until every detail is met whether I am on stage entertaining or designing a unique space - I try and leave people and places better than I found them. *REAL IS RARE*
What lights me up
Hummingbirds
THEY NEVER STOP. THEIR WINGS OSCILLATE IN A PATTERN ALL ON THEIR OWN.
Trees
THEY GROUND MY BUSY-BODY NATURE AND REMIND ME TO BE STILL FOR A MINUTE.
travel
A Long Table
FULL OF PEOPLE BEING ENTIRELY THEMSELVES. MIXED METALS. CANDLES BURNING DOWN. THE RIGHT KIND OF MESS.
A Blank Wall
THE BEST KIND OF DARE. HAND ME A LADDER AND AN AFTERNOON and i am in heaven.
LIVE MUSIC
NEIGHBORS, A GUITAR, intimate setting or large concert - love the joy and peace it brings to this world!

Headshot
Wonder Woman, by the train
On stage, purple lights
Black sand beach, Iceland
Greenhouse, you are beautiful
Café chair, with a friend
Singing, eyes closed, at the mic
Up a ladder, painting the big canvas
Solo on stage, cowboy hat and boots
Behind the bar at Skōsh
A duet with guitar, by the Christmas tree
Mid-stroke on the Levels wall
On the mic at a porch party
Picking tile with a client
Hanging the art, overalls on
Ladder work under the beams
In the studio, talking it through
