ABOUT ME

Pursuing my undergrad in Special Education with an minor in art. I have a beautiful five year old daughter.
I recently stopped serving at a local veg restaurant here in Columbus where I'd worked for 6 years. I am now a self employed artist and dancer to pay my way through school. I consider myself a feminist and view the job as empowering. The process of developing my own photographs really interests me, as well as mixed media and sculpture. I love open minded people with a good sense of humor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spring 2008, I drove out to california from ohio with my dad, sleeping in a tent along the way. We backpacked on the Pacific Crest Trail that summer.
