Raised in the heat of the Las Vegas Valley, I embraced my queer identity among the red rocks of southern Utah. I work as a visual storyteller for higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations. In my free time, I am a practicing artist currently exploring queerness and religious trauma.
Currently
- Working as a creative problem solver along Utah's Wasatch Front (Eastern Shoshone and Goshute land).
- Collaborating with local nonprofits and political candidates to strategize and advance their missions.
- Experimenting artistically with digital and fiber-based media.
Fun facts
- I am comfortable with he/him and they/them pronouns.
- The hardest part about working as a student journalist was not being able to use the Oxford Comma.
- I may or may not have an obsession with sloths, and I may or may not have cried after feeding a carrot to one named Flash.
- The quickest way to my heart is between the fourth and fifth rib, or by telling me your favorite Shostakovich symphony.
- There are two titanium rods and sixteen screws in my back to correct over 125° of spinal curvature.
- My photography career peaked when I was 16 years old and The Hunger Games shared one of my photos in a post that got over 45,000 likes (my image is the left middle).
