I’m a 30-something woman currently located in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in Michigan. I have a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in East Asian Language and Culture (specifically Japanese). I worked for an environmental consulting company for over 13 years, but I’m currently on sabbatical to pursue some lifelong travel aspirations.
I have two cats, Pippa and Boo, and a corn snake named Squiggles. I volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in the cat care/adopts, dog adopts, and petography groups. I’m also an administrator and board member for Costumers with a Cause, a costuming charity group. Most of the time I take photos of the costumers, but I do dress as superheroes, villains, and princesses on occasion.
In my spare time, I like to draw (traditional and digital) and take photographs on my Canon 7D. I am also a regular runner, and have run full and half marathons, but also enjoy the standard fun run too. I used to travel a lot when I was younger, and I’m starting to travel again.
This is a personal website to document my art, photos, travels, and general life. It’s a mix of everything, and I hope you like it!
