I use my art to teach, shock, and inspire. In my art, you’ll find threads of connection from my diverse life experience gained from traveling, working, and living in Brazil, France, South Korea, and my native United States. This international lens, combined with work experience that includes corporate recruiter, makeup artist, travel consultant, Lyft driver, ghostwriter, digital marketing manager, and English as a Foreign Language teacher, has given me a global perspective, and shown me that we are more alike than we are different. Writing professionally in various contexts for the last 15 years, I also writes creatively as a sijo poet, novelist, and screenwriter.
