Currently I am based in Los Angeles, but hoping to move to Lisbon. I work in the community space and am very passionate about making communities safe, welcoming, diverse, and accessible. In my spare time I volunteer at an exotic animal sanctuary that takes in former movie animals as well as animals from the illegal pet trade and fur farms and gives them a better life. I love being able to educate visitors about wildlife conservation and the animals we care for. If you're ever in need of a good animal fact, I've got you. Like many, I love to travel and experience new cultures. You'll rarely find me without a film camera or two in hand. My dream is to create a space where people can come together and share ideas and create art and find a bit of peace.
Embracing diversity and unconventionality is so important to me, whether it's through the books I read, the content I consume, or the people in the communities I am part of. I am always in search of ways to broaden my knowledge of other cultures and perspectives. One of my favorite ways to do this is through food, I love to cook food from other cultures and I believe food provides connection and a sense of community. As a neurodivergent woman, unconventionality is part of my daily life. Embracing that aspect of my life has led me down paths in my career, and life in general, that I wouldn't have been able to experience in the same way. It's made me very passionate about accessibility in technology and in the world as a whole. When spaces, both in real life and online, are designed to be accessible, everyone benefits.
