I am a student going into my senior year at Humboldt State University. My major is psychology with a minor in studio arts. I enjoy making jewelry and my medium is metal work and silversmithing. I recently graduated and am currently trying to pursue jewelry fabrication as career but psychology is something I hope to use within my work.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a wide variety of music maybe too many to name and am open to almost anything. Almost..

Some movies I love include, Frances Ha, Carol, Mistress America, Song to Song, 20th Century Women. (Greta Gerwig and Rooney Mara are two of my favorite actors). I love documentaries, true crime, and many others.

I’ve read many yet very few books. Always looking for recommendations. I wish I read more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Taos, NM and lived in a school bus for a month learning to be off the grid and all about sustainable living. SUCH an amazing experience. My friend went to the Earthship Biotecture Academy and we learned so much just in that month. I learned so much about water conservation, solar power, energy conservation, and just how to be frugal with everything I have. I learned to be happy living so simple.

Another adventure I had was exploring was of the smaller island of Hawaii named Molokai. It was once a place where people with leprosy were sent in exhale until a saint came to help them. It is one of the least touristy islands and has some of the most amazing views I have ever seen. I stayed with a lovely host named Tim, who works and helps with the few patients that are left. He gave us a private tour of very old grave sites, told us the history of the land, showed us ancient ruins. It was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make jewelry and work in a local bead shop where we teach classes, build custom jewelry and take repairs for anyone! I would love to show anyone who’s interested my hobby! Crafting of any medium is something I enjoy doing with anyone in any place.

Life is short, I want to experience anything I can. I want to be present in every moment, indulge in every feeling.
