She graduated from Montgomery Central High School with distinction and has received her Associate of Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Austin Peay State University. As an artist interested in high contrast colors, discovering herself, and personifying her interests in dramatic, colorful humanoids. She expresses these self-portraits in mixed media, including painting, watercolor, color pencil, and Photoshop.

My work is centered on self-portraits, in which I focus on colorization, myself, organic shapes, and fluid movements. These portraits are a means to explore my emotions, likes, and dislikes, creating avatars that personify them. While I get to play with how I want to personify the pieces of myself, I also sometimes lie to the audience, making myself seem menacing or eerie. Through the embodiments themselves, I become an unreliable narrator.​
