About Me
A self-proclaimed artist in New York City.
All my life I've tried to define what I do and where I want to be. No matter how many times I try to define myself, I really just end up detesting it. So, this is me. A platform to openly share my work.
​
To preface my portfolio, I will attribute the success of most of my work to the like minded artists who are always willing, and kind enough to collaborate with me. I owe it to them ♡
Work Experience
2016 - 2020
Studying at the College of Charleston, in Charleston, SC. I had many opportunities to expand my work. Performing through many outlets, my resume had expanded quite rapidly. Some of those works include dancing in Chapel Moves!, Piccolo Spoleto, and accepting my first professional role as "Nickie", in the 60's musical, Sweet Charity. Since then, I have also dipped my toes into the giant pool that is social media. As I consider modeling to be my "side hustle", and not where my creative heart truly resides, I respect it dearly, and am forever grateful to the creators I have met though this medium, and the inspiration they have introduced into my creative sphere.
2010 - 2016
My younger years included a lot of dance training. Studying at my local studio for almost 9 years, I found myself searching for more. From high school musicals, to endless nutcracker performances, I
knew I was destined to perform. Feeling limited is petrifying, so actively writing and staying creative, through words, or pictures, constantly reminds me how limitless our minds are. These years proved that self-expression did not only exist in performing, but rather, other areas of my life that I had yet to discover as a young adult.
