For years, I worked as a counselor and educator, guiding others while quietly ignoring my own creative spirit. Art had always been part of me—from childhood through my undergraduate degree in art—but over time, I set it aside for something more “practical”: a career in counseling.

Then life changed everything. I lost both parents to cancer, my best friend to illness, and witnessed the upheaval of a global pandemic. These experiences were more than personal tragedies—they were a cosmic invitation to reevaluate my priorities and my entire approach to life.

​

Burned out and restless, I left my secure university job. I tried to play it safe by starting a career coaching practice, but deep down I knew my heart wanted something else. My inner artist was still waiting.

The turning point came in Bali, when a friend gifted me a mandala workbook. What began as a simple exercise quickly became so much more—a meditative practice, a source of healing, and a path back to myself. Through mandalas, I rediscovered my creative voice.

​

Today, I’m blending my love of art with my background in counseling and education. My work explores creativity as a form of mindfulness, a way to process life, and a tool for authentic living.

This space is where I share that journey—through art, writing, travel, and reflections on building a life that feels true. My hope is that something here will inspire you to reconnect with your own creativity, challenge the scripts you’ve been handed, and rediscover what matters most.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s see where this journey leads, together.
