About

I am a 19-year-old queer ceramicist with a deep passion for both the arts and the sciences. My ultimate goal is to become a forensic anthropologist, as I am endlessly fascinated by bones, the decomposition process, and the intricate cycles of life and death. This curiosity was nurtured over many years of dedicated work in wildlife conservation, where I developed a profound appreciation for nature's ability to transform and sustain itself.

Beyond my scientific interests, I am also deeply immersed in the arts. Creativity is an essential part of who I am, and I express myself through a diverse range of artistic mediums, including sculpture, photography, music, and dance. Whether molding clay into expressive forms, capturing the world through a lens, or moving to the rhythm of a song, I find joy in exploring the endless ways art can communicate emotion and experience.
With a mind equally drawn to the analytical and the creative, I seek to bridge the gap between science and art, using both disciplines to better understand and appreciate the world around me.
