She received BFA degrees in Art Studio and Communication Design from California State University, Chico, in 2025 and is currently pursuing her MFA at the University of Nevada, Reno. She works across sculpture, cast bronze, mixed media, and digital processes, with a deep love for hands-on making.

Outside of the studio, she enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking with her dog, exploring new places and finding inspiration in the natural world.
Artist's statement
My work explores the passage of time and the accumulation of moments, memories and experiences that shape us. I am interested in the body as a vessel that carries these experiences while moving toward decomposition and death, becoming an archive of memory, grief and meaning. Through sculpture and mixed media, I explore cycles of growth, decay and renewal, and how our impermanence connects us to the natural world. I work with materials including cast bronze, found objects, fiber, video, projection and sound, bringing traditional making processes into conversation with contemporary technology.
