I live, work, and play in Minneapolis, MN. I love my neighborhood, situated right near downtown, but not too far to go enjoy nature! My days (and much of my brain power) are spent tackling issues of racial injustice, either in my day job where I work for the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights or in my offtime volunteering and having tough conversations with family and friends.

I love spending long days in my yard and love getting lost in yard work, be it planning, planting, digging, or the very seldom lounging! Lounging does, however, happen to be a favorite past time of mine, but it typically happens on the couch with my two dogs and partner of ten years.

I love collecting free things during move in and move out days, DIY projects, specifically crafts, puzzling, and cooking. I currently eat Keto but love making meals for just about anyone! I most look forward to the weeks I get to spend traveling to festivals where I love taking in workshops, music, and camping. Growing and being a part of community inspires me.

I have a background in theatre, a masters degree in public policy, played the violin for 15 years, have a background in facilitation and training.
