MORE ABOUT ME
I am a mission-driven creative based in Los Angeles, born and raised in the Northshore of Boston. After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in Environmental Studies & Sociology, I began my career as a climate organizer and policy advocate in Philadelphia. Interested in creative activism, I entered the world of sustainable fashion and have been in the advocacy and sustainable brand space for the last 6 years.
To chill out, I love to hike with my dog, try new coffee shops and play the drums. My second-home (and favorite place in the world) is Chatham located in Cape Cod, MA — where I spent my childhood connecting with marine ecosystems and appreciating our natural world. I have a lifelong dream of designing and building my own eco-home one day.
Current Projects: Graphic design and brand consulting for conscious fashion and sustainable wellness brands including the worlds first 100% refillable skincare brand + the world’s first microplastic daily detox supplement.
