I am officially a published author!📕
“She Is Alive” is a parody of Frankenstein with a transgender twist. It’s written as a diary with handmade illusions and follows a girl named Raven over the course of a year as she transitions from male to female.

After tragically not getting hired at McDonalds....
I’m proud to announce that I was hired as a performer at the world famous Casa Bonita 🎉🎭
In high school, I was voted most likely to be a comedian 🤹♂️, and today—ten years later—that dream has come true! I will be playing comedic characters as part of the rooted cast.
For the longest time, I was led to believe that acting is not a “real job” 🎬 and that I should find something more practical.
I would sell myself short. I would love to perform a silly skit or song, but bagging groceries seemed to be more practical. I would love to juggle and do magic tricks, but a waitress is a “real job”. I have learned not to underestimate myself again.
A job should align with one’s skills and passions. It turns out that a “real job” is anything you get paid to do. 💰
I am so happy my time and dedication to the art of theater has paid off! 🎭✨
I had a colorful 2025
🤍🩷❤️🧡💛 💚 💙💜🖤 Here is my year as told through colors. 🌈
('cause what kind of queer would I be if I didn’t do something with the rainbow)
Happy New Year ✨
This October I worked as a Scare Actress at 13th Floor Haunted House 🎃
This is my 4th season working as a scare actress. I love the mix of improv and acting skills that it takes to do the show. 🎭
I also love the makeup, and getting to play so many different characters, each with a unique look. 💋
Here are the characters I played this season!
💀 Happy Halloween 2025 💀

🎈 6-year anniversary of “Balloon Party” 🎈
Summer of 2019, I wrote & directed a short film. It was a dark satire, set in a surrealist world where everyone but one person is a balloon.
If I had Instagram back then I might have posted about it, but I didn’t and now I do. 🙃
I wish that after college I kept making films, and maybe I will get into it again...
but for now I am feeling nostalgic and wanted to share a project I am still very proud of. 🎈
It won best short horror film at the Hollywood Verge film festival in 2020. Watch it here ⬇️

It’s here! 📘🚀
My second novel “A Grocery Store on Mars” is published and can be bought on Amazon at this link below ⬇️
✨/dp/B0F8P1DRGD✨
I’m so proud to be holding this in my hands, and I am so proud of this story. It’s a thrilling sci-fi adventure perfect for teens and adults.
In it you will find...
🚀A Cyborg Protagonist who faces prejudice for being part robot. A metaphor for the unfortunate bigotry still faced by the disabled community today.
🚀A dystopian earth that in 2500 has reverted back to the 1950’s era The wealthy living in a utopian country on the moon where sign language is the official language of their soundless space stations
🚀The world’s first trillion who has bought mars to set up a grocery store
🚀Fun characters, concepts and creativity. Its more grounded and grittier than Star-Trek but still filled with retrofuturism fun.
✨ If you support any of my creative endeavors even once this year this book would the time. ✨
My debut “She is Alive” sold modestly and lead to some amazing writing seminars that I was hired to instruct. I hope this second novel, with its improved style and larger audience, reaches to the moon and back.
-Later in June I will be holding a book singing/party somewhere at an indi theater or book store. Get your copy NOW so you can enjoy the event filled with friends, family, and fans. 🥰✍️📚

They say you are what you eat…
so I guess I'm fast, cheap, and easy!
😅
I am not trying to be a professional chef here. Lol 👩🏼🍳
...I am trying to lose weight and save money. So far, I have succeeded with both goals. 🤩
I believe in a minimalist approach to healthy eating. 🥑
I have been very happy eating a primarily keto diet. 😊
As you can see, I have a few simple meals I can serve again and again for myself each week.
It's fast
It's easy
It's cheap
But also
It's healthy
It's tasty
It's clean
Eat well to feel well.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

This summer me and my friends made a time machine. It’s a long story..
1. In June 2024, I cryogenically froze myself to get to a hypnotically future where they could unfreeze me 🥶🚀
2. Met a future girl from 3001 named Jenny, who was smart enough to do the rest 🧠💡
3. Something about “light-cones” “the multiverse” “and “advanced VR simulations” 🌈🌐⌛
4. Met a dinosaur (forget to take a picture) was sent back to August 2024 in time for school to restart 🦖😎
*The pirate custom was a last-minute idea. I figured if I was going to time travel might as way make a bold fashion choice (yes, I invented pirates). 💖
Also accidently left my I-phone in the early Renaissance, (I hope I didn’t mess up anything to badly 😮)
The first class was such a success, that we are going to do it again this fall🌻.
Registration is now open. Class starts September 9th and is on Monday nights 6-8pm
Don’t delay your dreams. It’s already July and spots fill up fast.
