How we got here
Embarking on gymnastics at 3, it became my enduring love. By 11, international competitions fueled my passion for exploration. In 2019, confronting past gymnastics abuse coincided with the loss of my best friend to cancer. In 2020, the world halted, forcing me to confront a life spent filling an unfillable void.
The past 5 years were about survival, self-discovery amid crises, envisioning a future self. Today, while "someday" might not feel fully realized, it begins now. This journey underscores the importance of storytelling, self-advocacy, and service.
In parallel, my services—be it as your Action Partner, in Web Design, or Advocacy—emanate from these themes. This chapter marks the intersection of putting myself first, healing, and extending support to others. Welcome to a space where stories converge, voices resonate, and collective healing is both embraced and facilitated.
Years ago, I learned that my archetype is the Explorer - a relentless pursuer of learning about myself and the world, offering and inspiring others freedom through my own experiences.
I hope my experiences, my stories, my services are helpful in some capacity. If it doesn't feel right to take action quite yet, no one understands that more than I do. Feel free to consume, enjoy, and relate (or not - I can be a kook!). When the time does feel right, I hope to inspire others to action in their lives, see the value of their stories, and want to meet the person we know we can be in this world.
