I was born in Olympia, Washington in February of 1994. Washington is a moderately diverse state, with over half of the states population living in the Puget Sound Area, home of the Space Needle and Starbucks Coffee. I grew up in a small agricultural town east of the Cascade mountains, known as Selah. After graduating High School, I moved around a lot living 3 years on the Olympic Peninsula and 4 years in the Seattle area. After relocating to Utah, I have seen how much the culture of Washington state has shaped me into who I am. Appreciation for nature, open-minded to ethnic and racial diversity, care about the environment, thrifting, and addicted to coffee!

My family is my rock. I am the middle child out of 3 siblings. A lot of the qualities and characteristics I have today root from learnt family values growing up. Work hard, perseverance, responsible, and empathy to others are a few.

Being a woman is empowering. On my own personal journey, being a woman has helped me become independent, strong, a role-model, and successful. I have overcome very low valley's and experienced the highest peaks, but at the end of the day being a woman kept me grounded through it all.

I am 27 years old and settled down with two fur babies.

Music makes me feel human. Listening to music allows me to reconnect to my inner self, emotions, others, and the artist. I love listening and appreciating music from other countries. It allows me to learn more about that countries culture through music and improve my listening skills towards different languages. Foreign music ignites the curiosity to learn about the artists country.

When I was 20 years old, I came out as Pansexual. It was one of the most liberating moments in my life and completely changed me for the better. After coming out, I have received a lot of support through LGBTQ+ networks. A lot of my friends I met at LGBTQ+ events.
