I was born in Lithuania but have been hopping around the several continents since birth. These moves shaped who I am and wove into my being invaluable lessons and insight on loss, transients, space and relationships. This multi-layered foundation of an upbringing spawned a momentum for travel and interpersonal growth which I continue to feed.

I am a passionate people-person with a hunger for adventure, spontaneity and artistic community. Challenge is where I thrive and I've always aimed to provide a fresh and creative approach to everything I do. I sincerely appreciate and encourage open-minded and original thinkers and consider myself one. My vibrant motivation stems from my understanding that there is no love or liberation without honest labor.

These days on the weekdays you'll find me juggling waitressing and finding ways to be in the woods. And on the weekends I'll be stage-front rocking out or grooving to some psychedelia/ heavy wailing funk or probing the pubic to engage on a more spiritual level over a cold one.

I've been scribbling notes, sloppy gibberish, free-verse and prose poetry in various notebooks and they are beginning to stack up.

I am ambitious. Think manifest destiny, only with a loaded heart and a mouth full of wild flowers.
