I call myself the self-discoverer who uses my passions to truly get to know myself and those around me. I am really into astrology, interior design, aesthetics, and the beach for relaxation. I aspire to take care of myself holistically so I can live a life that is fulfilling in all areas. My interests in self-exploration and liberation are also reflective of my passion for intersectional social justice issues as I aspire to work with others to create environments that are more inclusive, connected, and socially conscious.

I attended Bridgewater State University for undergrad where I was extremely involved. My time consisted of being a full-time student, being a Resident Assistant, being a mentor to high school students, co-hosting “The Art of Hip-Hop” radio show, leading alternative break trips, attending study abroad tours, and serving as the programming chair for Bridgewater Coffeehouse Entertainment. My undergraduate experiences truly shaped who I am today and I`m incredibly grateful for the pearls I gained.
