I was born in Nashua, New Hampshire and raised in Winston Salem, North Carolina. I live with my parents, my older sister, and my two brothers. I currently attend West Forsyth High School and plan on graduating in 2020. 

​

At school, I partake in a Girls Service Club, National Art Honor Society, and Girls Who Code organization. All of these groups help me be the best I can be in my community while simultaneously providing a creative output for me. They allow me to extend my artistic influence while helping those around me, and for that I am extremely grateful.

​

As long as I can remember, making things meant being in my happy place. From paintings to video montages, I know my purpose lies in creation. I was and still am the "artist" of my family. While my siblings chased soccer balls outside, I was on my tenth coloring page of the night.

​

Lots of my creative motivation comes from my supportive friends and family along with my own feelings and experiences that demand an output. Growing up, I sometimes felt isolated through my art which gave me a negative outlook on it. However, in recent years I've grown to appreciate everything I manage to create, whether I think it's successful or not.

 

One of my goals as an artist is to continue in this journey of self acceptance.
