I am, above all things, a seeker. My lifelong sensitivity and love of storytelling have led me through seasons as a journalist, writer, editor, producer, instructor, performer, photographer, and designer. A Pittsburgh, PA native, I’ve recently returned to these unceded ancestral lands of the Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Osage, and Shawnee peoples—though I can’t help but call New York City my home away from home.
Currently, I’m working on finishing up a 200-hour yoga teacher training, and I’m super into studying tarot, astrology, and archetypes; showing up imperfectly in voice and dance classes; and tending to my 70-some plant friends and the resident jungle cat, Cleo.
As a white, able-bodied, cisgender woman, I commit to making conscious space in my work to examine the impacts of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy in order to uproot them, especially through the lenses of mental and emotional wellness, self-worth, body politics, caretaking, and mass media.
