Born in Burbank, California, life has taken her all over the West Coast and Midwest. She has been writing poetry and short stories since age 8 and loves to learn and experience all that life has to offer, including studying abroad, reading Tarot, making herbal compresses, and being a self-taught bass guitar noob. Through all of lifes adventures, she has digested a plethora of lessons, blessings, and experiences, word vomiting and processing them through the catharsis of writing and therapy. Her work delves into the abyss of mental health, including eating disorders, self-harm, familial strife, grief, purpose, and what it means to be a human.
