I am a creative designer and advocate driven by a passion for sparking positive change.
With experience in nonprofits, esports, and beyond, I use my design skills to create compelling visual communications that resonate with different audiences. As a lifelong learner, I remain curious and adapt my approach to make meaningful contributions in the communities I work with.Through collaborative strategies, I foster accessible environments and amplify stories that celebrate the unique strengths and experiences of individuals, recognizing the inherent value and worth of every person.I hold a B.A. in Public Health Policy and am currently pursuing a Master's in Public Health, focusing on improving access to care and enhancing representation for disability and neurodivergent communities.Outside of design, I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in nature, capturing landscapes through photography, and expressing myself through creative writing.

Advocacy
Collaboration drives meaningful change, and I work with communities to develop initiatives that inspire action and advance social progress. Through educational workshops and engaging presentations, I build connections and inspire collective action.
My own experiences have shaped my commitment to highlighting underrepresented perspectives and working toward policies that make a difference. Whether it’s promoting accessibility, supporting community health efforts, or standing up for the environment, I believe change happens when we come together and take action.Below are some of the events and initiatives I’ve been involved in, each one a chance to connect, learn, and make an impact. I’m always excited to keep growing this work and partnering with others who want to create positive change.
