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!

On stage, purple lights

Black sand beach, Iceland

Greenhouse, you are beautiful

Café chair, with a friend

Up a ladder, painting the big canvas

Behind the bar at Skōsh

Mid-stroke on the Levels wall

Picking tile with a client

Hanging the art, overalls on

Ladder work under the beams
