While born & raised in the Midwest, I'm currently soaking up the sunshine and beach days in Tampa, Florida. I've been creative at heart since childhood—designing extravagant "lettering" pieces with Crayola and Mr. Sketch scented markers and proudly displaying my masterpieces on my bedroom door like a gallery wall. That same playful passion evolved into a deeper love for calligraphy in 2020, when I began practicing modern calligraphy as a personal creative outlet. In 2023, I took my first Sip & Script class in Chicago and instantly fell in love with the blend of creativity, community, and fun. Now, as an instructor, I'm excited to help others tap into their own creative energy in a laid-back, encouraging environment. Known for my thoughtful touch, I also have a knack for all things celebratory—creating birthday gift baskets, designing custom invitations (thank goodness we have tools like Canva now!), and even hosting hands-on workshops like a DIY terrarium class as a surprise birthday gift for my mom. At the heart of it all is my love for making life’s special (and everyday) moments feel seen and celebrated—with joy, artistry, and a whole lot of heart. Outside of the creative world, as a certified functional kettlebell trainer and dance fanatic, I am passionate about empowering others to live healthy, happy lives and step into their own innate power.
