Overview
About Me
Not really American at heart.. I think I might be European in spirit, lol. I live by the work to live mantra, not the live to work hustle. I dream of building a community of people who feel the same way: that life is meant to be enjoyed, not just survived.
I’m a big believer that you’re only as young as you feel, and that the world teaches you more than any classroom ever could, but only if you’re open to it. I genuinely believe you can learn something from everyone. Sometimes I wish we had a “human library” where you could borrow someone just to learn from their story. We are all a product of our story.. if there was more compassion and understanding in the world, the world would be a better place.
Photography is my form of art, not about modeling or perfection, but about capturing raw, honest beauty. When I take a photo, it’s my way of holding a moment still in time, something I saw and felt deeply, and being able to share that feeling with someone else forever. Everyone sees beauty differently, and to me, there’s no such thing as a bad picture, just different perspectives frozen in time.
I’m all about good vibes, curious minds, and conversations that make you think, or just laugh. Whether it’s swapping life philosophies or chatting about the newest movie, I’m here for it. Life’s already heavy enough, so I try to keep mine light, joyful, and full of connection.
I’m super creative, proudly free-spirited, and definitely quirky (in the best way). I embrace it all, and love meeting people who do the same. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously. Let’s just be real and kind.
If you’ve read this far, I already love your energy :)
Music, Movies, and Books
🎵 I’m a country music girl through and through. It is a goal of mine to learn country swing and line dancing!! I also enjoy 2000s hip hop, pop, and of course Latin music 💃(I mean I do live near Miami). Recently I have been expanding my taste to some indie/alternative artists as well.
🎬 For movies, I’m big on thrillers and comedies. 2000s rom-coms just hit differently (seriously, they don’t make them like that anymore). “Wedding Crashers” is an all-time fave, and honestly, anything with Vince Vaughn is a win.
📚 I love fiction and self-help books. A lot of people are into nonfiction, but there’s something magical about getting lost in a story someone dreamed up. If I’m going nonfiction, I want it to teach me something or help me grow.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiking Volcán Fuego in Guatemala was one of the most incredible (and intense) things I’ve ever done. It wasn’t just a physical challenge, it was a bonding experience with an amazing group of backpackers who had been making their way through South America up to the U.S. We huddled around a fire at base camp watching the volcano erupt in the distance.. unreal. It was one of those moments where you realize just how small you are, and how connected we all are.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’m very privy to holistic and nontoxic living, over the years, I’ve absorbed so much knowledge on everything from ancestral diets to why the sun isn’t the enemy! I love helping others with simple swaps to reduce everyday exposure to toxins, so you don’t have to worry about endocrine disruptors messing with your health.
I’m always down to learn new languages, and I love cooking, so if you can teach me how to make a local dish, I’m all in.
And of course, I’m always up for swapping travel stories. There’s nothing better than learning through someone else’s journey.

Aruba, Canada, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia
