I figured it was time to update my “about me” since the last time I wrote one was a few years ago and (hopefully) I’ve grown and changed in that time. Most of it is still relevant, but I thought I’d add some of the newer pieces of myself to this update! 

Biggest update is I live in Philadelphia now (a californian shockingly turning into an east coast gal)! I drove across the country in 2021 to live with my best friend while she went to grad school, and when she graduated she moved back to california and I thought I’d stay and see what the east coast was truly all about. Since moving here I’ve attended nearly 100 concerts, visited dozens of museums, driven through many states, and made random connections and communities along the way.

Ever since I moved to Philly I have leaned heavily into my passion for art and I’ve let that express itself as writing frequently, reading as much as I can, taking tons of film photos, and (as always) listening to as much music as humanly possible. 

I have no plans for where I’ll end up or what career path I’ll find myself in, but I have learned to enjoy the journey a bit more and I try my best to let things happen the way they’re supposed to instead of fighting them constantly. Maybe I’ll live in PA or CA (or maybe somewhere entirely different), maybe I’ll go to grad school (or I’ll never go back to school), maybe I’ll work in a museum (or I’ll just continue to appreciate them), maybe I’ll finally publish my writing (or I’ll just keep writing in my higharies), or maybe I’ll do this forever (who knows).

I’m very grateful for the life that this work allows me to have, and it’s never lost on me the blessing that is being able to pursue hobbies, passions, and friendships without fear. I cannot thank the friends that have continued to show up over the years and supported me enough, I hope you know how highly I think of you and the effort you put forth.
