PHOTOGRAPHER & EDUCATOR
I’m a visual storyteller and educator who believes creativity should mean something. As a photographer, I focus on capturing moments that feel honest—whether it’s portraits, fashion, or personal brand visuals. I want my work to reflect real stories and real people. On the education side, I teach what I know and pour into the next generation of artists. I’m big on making sure people don’t just learn how to create, but why they create. Whether I’m in a studio or a classroom, the goal is the same: to inspire, to equip, and to honor the craft.

CHRISTIAN POET & ARTIST
I speak what I’ve lived. Every poem, every piece of art I share is rooted in faith and filtered through real life. As a Christian poet and spoken word artist, I don’t sugarcoat my journey—I talk about the struggles, the lessons, and the grace that carried me through. My goal isn’t to perform (personally I hate it) but to minister—to spark something in the heart of the listener and remind them that God still speaks. If you’ve ever wrestled with your faith or felt unseen, this space is for you. You are not alone!

CHRISTIAN AUTHOR & SPEAKER
Speaking is a new chapter for me—but the message has always been there. As a Christian artist stepping into the world of speaking, I’m learning to share my journey out loud with the same honesty I bring to my poetry. I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but I know what God’s done in my life, and I believe there’s power in putting that into words. Whether I’m on a mic, in a small group, or just showing up authentically, I want people to leave knowing they’re not alone—and that God can use even the messiest chapters for His glory.
