Fun and important facts: I’ve been on horses since before I could walk, my childhood playground was an actual 100-acre wood, the ocean is a second home whether diving or sailing, and I will dance to music that no one else can hear.
I was raised to be a wanderer — born in San Francisco Bay Area, grown in Germany, Andros Island, and much of New England — so in addition to learning “packing tetris,” I had the chance to experience many walks of humanity.
Throughout undergrad, I paid bills by teaching SCUBA diving and shooting underwater film so, in 2016, I married my camera skills to my ASDS colleague’s directing skills and co-founded Secret6Train Productions, where I co-wrote and produced the 5iveSenses short film series. I spent the first few years in NYC as a fashion model, learning a lot about style, impression, and art.
After a struggle in 2020 with long Covid, I returned to the world of visual art and photography, working as an studio art/creative director and educating actors and models for presence in front of the camera.

I am especially grateful for my family, my aunt and uncle, who believe in faeries and catching lightning, my mother, who has always been there, and my sisters, they know why.
