About Me

I am a multidisciplinary artist; a singer, guitarist, writer, poet, and illustrator--with a passion for storytelling across different forms. I’ve participated in four art competitions and proudly won two. On stage, I’ve performed in two musicals, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, where I learned to channel emotion and connect with audiences through music and performance. I have also performed (singing and guitar) in a couple of choirs at my school, independently, and in a band. I began writing poetry last year, which sparked a deeper love for writing. However, before then, I’ve been working on two major projects: a children’s book I plan to publish this September, which I’m co-illustrating with a dear friend and wonderful artist, and a richly layered dystopian fantasy novel. Both projects are heavily focused on themes of grief, loss, love, war, and growth.

Detailed Bio

I harbor a multidisciplinary skill set. I am a singer, guitarist, writer, poet, and artist/illustrator. My journey has not always been linear, but my passion has never wavered. The arts are deeply ingrained within my soul, functioning as an outlet of connection and growth. Each medium I explore allows a fragment of myself to reflect into the world through a different lens. To me, creativity isn't binary, it is multifaceted. I hope to explore it for the rest of my lifetime.
