Check out my feature story in the UCDA magazine!
I'm a 30 year old, Arkansas-born, New York City obsessed, former American ex-pat in Italy. Life has led me down some pretty cools paths over the past couple years and I am incredibly thankful. I have most recently been described as a ball of chaotic energy, which I would have to agree is pretty accurate.
Before making the big jump across "the pond" in 2016, I worked as a marketing and public relations photographer in higher education.
One day I got a phone call from Italy quite literally asking if I would want to pack up and move 6,000 miles away from everything I have ever known. It was an easy decision to decide to make the leap. How could I say no? The next thing I knew I was four suitcases in, everything else shoved in a storage unit, and boarding a plane to a completely new world.
Ironically, it was the "Old World" that captivated me and the “New World” that called me back home.
This Arkansas Traveller now lives in Fayetteville, AR.
My professional passion is melding photography, design and words together to create something beautiful.
Taylor Swift, J. Crew, and a party-size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos are my most treasured confidants. And a heavy pour of sangiovese, of course.
I'm passionate about discovering new things about myself and answering questions, though I have no idea what I'm supposed to do in this world. All I can do is live it and find out.
Thank you for journeying with me.
And as always,
Ciao for now,
