Story
Spring, 2025

I’m originally from Richmond, Virginia, but recently spent eight years in Hawai’i (2017 - 2024), learning from elders, cultural practitioners, and incredible contemporary kanaka innovators, entrepreneuers, scholars, and activists. That time shaped me, expanding and deepening my understanding of culture, healing, and what it means to live in a spiritual way, rooted in and in living relationship with place and community. I remain a commited student of ‘ike Hawai’i - mō’ike aloha.

Professionally, I’ve worn a lot of hats—organizational, brand and engagement strategy, communications; visual, spatial and experience design, product and programming, events and production, and retail. Spiritually, I’ve trained in various healing modalities and traditional lineages, grounding myself in meditation, prayer, protocol, divination, and intuitive living. My spiritual leaning has been lifelong, amplified by a near-death TBI at 21, initiating greater spiritual activation and purpose. My connection to source guides my life. 

I’m always learning. Consciousness, identity, consumerism, perception and traditional ways of knowing are central topics. My self-designed undergraduate degree examined the reciprocal, interdependent relationship between cultures and their artists - how they shape and inform each other - alongside practice in creative craft. This was the academic trailhead of my red-thread. My inquiry around conscious culture examines modernity’s cultural and cognitive fishbowl, and its mechanisms, contrasted against traditional cultures, our creative spirit, and divine order. 

At my core, I’m an applied social theorist and spiritual activist, skilled at seeing, facilitating, synthesizing ideas, and building structure for vision. I’m all about depth, imaginative possibility, radical collaboration, and orienting our collective work towards what wants to be. I’m here to share what I’ve learned, advocate for the sacred, and to be in service to experiencing and creating healing pathways and platforms for joyous, liberated living and expression aligned with the intelligence of life.

worldview: “integrative”

Integrative worldviews see the universe as an evolving, spiritually meaningful whole, and they find truth and knowledge through an integration of methods and paradigms, science and spirituality. They emphasize the need for personal growth and see cultural ‘evolution’ as solution to our global challenges. They are driven by values like self-actualization, the search for truth and wisdom, and global peace and compassion. They see nature as intrinsically valuable and spiritually significant; a partner to collaborate with. The great strength of this worldview is its commitment to integrate what’s fragmented and polarised.
