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.

Selected artworks will be featured during the event, highlighting the incredible contributions and perspectives within the community.

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.
