Backstory
On May 24th, 2026, I drove across the country (at 19 years of age) from the resort town of Hayward, Wisconsin to move to Huntington Beach, California on my own for the fast paced lifestyle and be in an environment where new ideas are encouraged and I can flourish. I love California and I saved up so I can live and work here. My parents and my brother live in Hayward Wisconsin, where they own a photography business (Superior Sunset Studio). I look forward to having them visit me in California. I love hiking and surfing and dancing.
