My purposeful creative pursuits…

began the day I decided to chase the whisper of a dream to the only college I applied to as a theatre arts major instead going after of my “lifelong dream” of studying kinesiology to become a physical therapist (following my USATF Youth Track & Field/Cross Country Junior Olympic Championship qualifying career which lasted from age 7-17)

and that twist on my creative pursuit turned into me adding a dance minor to fill that gap where I realized after one kinesiology class I very much preferred the feeling I got from being connected to my body and its kinetic energy of movement way more than I did studying its scientific intricacies regarding how muscles function

and before I knew it was I being cast in plays, musicals, and even a 2-woman show (although I still have nightmares about all those lines I had to memorize) anyhoo through all of that I leaned deeper into this uncanny knack I had for comedic timing (or so folks have told me) which has now paved a way for me into commercial acting

then upon my return to my alma mater as a career coach and professor (I kept searching for ways to dress better so I would not blend in or get confused for a student) which ended up helping me become much more confident in my body as I connected my love of movement into pursuing modeling especially after years of being teased for my skinny jeans, I mean genes (well, who knows, maybe it was both - either way I did my own thang), and even got to directly study under supermodel Coco Rocha (so hah, take that haters!)

and now, whether its leveraging my pursuit of joy into having too much fun as a game show contestant or belting out showtunes when I’m feeling unlimited…

or traveling on creative adventures to discover and create conversations of creative wellbeing between my body, mind, and soul around Italy, in London, or Bali, or some other wonderfully peaceful part of this vast world

at this point, I just keep finding ways to simply enjoy existing as all of me and what brings to life my all-encompassing creativity!
