I was born in 1996 (to no fault of my own) and raised in Gainesville, Florida. 

​

From 2022 - 2025, ​I was living in Chicago, Illinois with my husband, Ty and we now reside just outside of Denver Colorado Along with our cat, Roscoe and doggy, Tillie.

I don't work here is a project of love and curiosity- a place I created to explore the ​​​true passions of my life, outside of the office. While ironically, it's a ton of work,  this corner of the internet is for fun. In sharing my reflections on life and the personal experiences that shape my identity as both a writer and an individual, my goal is to connect with fellow creators along the way. :)

​

 

Growing up, it was the books I read and the stories I wrote that took me on my favorite adventures, fueling my desire for a life full of exploration. I’ve spent my life chasing stories, and what  I’ve learned so far is this: everybody has something to teach us. Everybody has a story worth telling.

 

​

This space is where I share mine. It’s a mix of everything I love—celebrating family and friendships, chasing dreams, finding resilience in tough times, and cherishing the little joys that make life, Life.Whether it’s a piece of advice I’ve learned the hard way, a moment of inspiration from someone I admire, or just something that made me smile today, my hope is that you’ll find a little bit of light here.​

This life we live is both random and profoundly meaningful. I encourage all to embrace it with humor and a curious mind. Truly, I believe that we are shaped by every person and experience along the journey. I invite you to join me, and be a part of it.
