Feb 2021 - Present
I am an independent singer-songwriter based in Vancouver, BC. My mission with music is to revitalize and heal; to be a catalyzing force that encourages others to go after whatever lights them up. I had a fierce kickstart to my music career upon discovering my knack for songwriting as a 30-year-old in 2021, when I taught myself banjo and began self-releasing a series of singles which have since earned 400K+ streams. My artistic style is marked by a genre-bending, eclectic spirit. My songs are infused with a sense of openness and authenticity; my work is simple and accessible, yet fiercely catchy. You'll hear themes of encouragement, tolerance, and peace in compositions that blend house beats, sweeping orchestral sounds, and old time banjo folk. Show less

Oct 2017 - Jan 2020
TACT is a handmade jewelry brand that celebrated 2.5 years in business as of January 2020 when I moved on from running it. This project was a rewarding and evolving experiment in e-commerce, branding, and entrepreneurship. Building this brand, I jumped headfirst into e-commerce, local retail, and digital branding. I was lucky to benefit from a strong community of local creative business owners and attended workshops on topics including small-scale retail, social enterprise, social media marketing, and more.

As a summer intern at Madison's Literacy Network, I coordinated weekly tutoring sessions, writing lesson plans for volunteer tutors to use with each of their adult learners. I got to work with some great educators, many dedicated volunteers, and witness the inspiring stories of adult learners from immigrant populations who are taking steps to improve their lives through language learning.
