I believe in the power of community and the potential of people coming together to share ideas and offer support and encouragement of each other. I'm a filmmaker, designer and an environmentalist. I frequently partner with the female-led environmentalist group, For The Wild to create documentaries and educational series with a commitment to land based restoration. I am the Stewart of a retreat spaces in Joshua Tree, where I curate and host wellness events. I dream of a world where our web of connection continues to grow and to bring the support and connection that is so dearly needed for the empowerment of each other in our communities.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
The act of consciously bringing curiosity into my life has opened up so much in my world. I'm involved in ongoing projects that actively engage in story telling the voice of indigenous woman of various cultures. Learning about the world through the eyes of others has helped me view my own world through a lens of nuance. I'm committed to a life of unlearning in order to gain a deeper insights into different perspectives that foster inclusivity, empathy and understanding.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I work as an editorial, event and documentary filmmaker and photographer. I also engage in architectural design and handmade objects in mediums such as wood and clay.
