As a writer, I can use my voice and experience to share my narrative to create conversations, smash stigmas, and start movements. This is a rare quality, and I want to use it because I have the ability to change lives. I have written professionally since 2012 and have written for HerCampus, Level21 Magazine, The EveryGirl, and RespectAbility, as well as my blog DISHability, a space created to engage in conversations with disability, body positivity, and beauty and fashion as self-celebration.

I’m 30, and I'm a native Charlottean who dreams of living independently and being financially free as much as I can as a disabled individual. I graduated from The College of Charleston’s REACH Program with a certificate in Women and Gender Studies in 2016. I believe that living authentically and being true to yourself is the key to a happy and healthy life.

I'm an activist, a nap - enthusiast, a wanderlust-er, a romantic, and an overall lover of all things beautiful. I think there's something incomparable about taking time to look at the things you don’t notice on a regular basis.

Outside my work, you can find me seeing my favorite artist live, scrolling through Twitter, reading, or catching up with friends over coffee. Honestly, you'll probably just find me watching k-dramas and listening to BTS.
