Summary

I'm an artist who loves working with illustration, digital art, and photography. Creating and bringing ideas to life through visuals is something I'm really passionate about. I also have several certificates in criminal justice, which reflects my interest in understanding and helping people in different ways. On top of that, I have 7 years of experience taking care of kids, something that’s taught me patience, creativity, and how to handle just about anything with a calm head. I enjoy combining all these parts of my background to stay creative, grounded, and open to new opportunities.
