24/7 Creative Chameleon

I hardly work because I am constantly doing what I love. I enjoy romantic walks to taco trucks, unintentional puns, and dad jokes. I mostly communicate digitally with memes and gifs, with the poop emoji being the most respected and used emoji in my arsenal. I once made a New Year’s resolution to tweet 1000 tweets every month for a whole year and succeeded. My lipstick and hair color change like the mood ring I wore in fourth grade, and I am known to many as the “Queen of Halloween.” I'm obsessed with fonts, cats, plants, detailed lists, and frozen yogurt. I was awarded the prestigious title of “Bubble Gum Champion” in sixth grade (the only title I have ever won), and I enjoy squirrel watching in parks. I'm full of wanderlust, making it incredibly difficult to avoid airports or highways headed towards fantastic new places. I’m a photographer, your pet's next best friend, a proud ENFJ and 2w3, and a bit of a gym rat. I may be a lot of things, but really I am just a girl who decided to go for it.

It's Not a Phase, Mom

Dear diary:

Mood: Apathetic.

I grew up under the "Black Parade," belting out emo lyrics like they were the anthem for my soul. If you remember the thrill of hearing "Sugar, We're Goin Down" for the first time or felt every beat of "Numb" echo through your bones, then you know the emo era wasn't just music; it was a lifestyle.…

Morbid Curiosity

Bring on anything medical history! Stories of lobotomy? Dope. Favorite plague? Bubonic (Obviously.) I have a deep (and perhaps morbid) curiousity for medical information and history. This is an ever-growing list of books I have sampled at least once in an effort to grapple with mortality, understand humanity and some of the heinous mistakes that have shaped the…

Listen To This

Audiobooks changed my life. Really. They got me reading again because if you know me, I am constantly on the move and always looking for a new project to take on so I really don't make a lot of time for myself to just sit down and relax. I am a self-proclaimed busy body. Access to reading in this way has changed the game for me. Find me in the kitchen making dinner,…

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I cannot recommend this book enough. 100/10. One million stars.

OKAY! You do NOT have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy this series! "The Murderbot Diaries" are FANTASTIC. I am not a huge sci-fi reader at all, but a friend recommended this series to me purely based on the narrator and central character. The robot is clever, always wanting to just watch his TV shows, and will have you laughing while immersed in an out-of-this-world landscape. I have not been able to stop myself from rushing through the series. This is book one in the series, and they are quick listens.

I want to give a trigger warning for this book. It covers some dark topics including sexual abuse and grooming. However, I really loved this book, and I enjoyed the narrator.

This was a pretty decent thriller in my opinion. I didn't see the ending coming, so that was a fun surprise. And, it takes place in Seattle!

Always Hungry

Ask any of my friends. Either I am eating food or talking about food. I'm always hungry.

Grab the Monet and Let's Gogh!

This (growing) booklist reflects the books and movies that have shaped my creative world. From my obsession with food and leaving food reviews on Yelp, to learning about the artists who have shaped the art world to what it is today, art is more than paint on a canvas. Welcome to my creative muses and outlets.

Are We Human or Are We Dancers?

What makes us human? As a creative, I am extremely passionate about exploring the vulnerabilities of humankind and examining the sociopolitical barriers that, at times, prevent and/or hinder individuals from achieving their highest potential. It probably comes as no surprise to see my passions reflected in my book choices. Storytelling is the greatest vehicle to do so. …
