Whether you're seeking feedback, guidance, or simply some time in a supportive space, I’m ready to meet you where you are on your journey.With a background in Public Health and community organizing, including work around abortion access and social justice, my art practice is deeply rooted in themes of bodily autonomy, gender, and self-exploration.
