Bay Area raised, dwelling in the PNW

A few things I can’t live without:

🎶 Music - I’ve played piano for 14 years and have a special place in my heart for live performances!

🎨 Community Art - I lead social strategy, web design, and communications for a local gallery, Gallery Onyx! As the oldest African American art collective in the PNW, the gallery serves as a community hub for inspiration and gathering.

✈️ Travel - I’m known to be a pro travel planner and especially love anywhere near the ocean. I’m looking forward to upcoming adventures in Tokyo, Brazil, and London!
