I moved 7 times to 6 different states before the age of 16. Woah. I didn’t understand it then, but the capacity to adapt, reinvent, and pivot was building in my nature!

In my young adulthood, I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in communication studies and spent several years as a study abroad coordinator and an arts and education program manager.

In 2014 I got a rad opportunity to become a touring musician for a year…so I LEAPT. I then became a music teacher.

In 2018 I earned my M.ED. in Education Leadership and began specialized training in career development coaching and evidence-based mental health and mentorship curriculums.

I still play music in the band Notel and project Gold Solid and engage in a variety of craft-making, including ceramics.
