Summary

I am a 23 year old 2024 college graduate who, what I consider, living a gorgeous mess of chaos. All the struggles one hears older generations speak about in regards to living in your twenties, I am definitely feeling it AND experiencing it. I have always had such a passion for health, wellness, and fitness. As someone who grew up with both parents as coaches, coaching is in my blood. However, I also have a very unique creative side to me. I have a vivid imagination that I want to tap into more. Writing has always been a strength for me, specifically creative writing. I am unsure "what I want to be when I grow up," but I do know I want to make a difference. I have a neat background, and one of passions is instilling into young children, specifically young girls, that they do not need to change themselves for anyone.

cooking

I like to cook dishes/meals that are paleo based. I am super big into holistic health, and I am wanting to learn more about living a natural lifestyle! 

Drawing

If I have the time, I love to sit down and draw. I prefer just simple pencil and paper.. Nothing fancy. 

writing

I have always had a super vivid imagination. I use this skill in my writing. A lot of my writing pieces are life focused, and they are based on my personal experiences. Some are light-hearted, but my favorite form of writing (and also an excellent therapy technique) is to write my internal calluses into words.
