If you were to meet me in person or stumble upon me online, you might be surprised to learn that I haven't always been the enthusiastic and optimistic artist you see today. In fact, before I uncovered my love for photography and painting, I was on the verge of dropping out of high school, struggling with low self-esteem deep rooted in childhood trauma, and losing hope for a fulfilling future. However, once I discovered my creative passions, the seemingly impossible became attainable, and happiness was within reach.

I am deeply passionate about life and have a mission to inspire others to discover that same fervor. My goal is to open up and share my experiences, vulnerabilities, and talents with you, inviting you into a world where your confidence can flourish, your creativity can soar, and your dreams can come true.
