I’ve always known that I’m meant to change the world. My passions include learning, growth and art. My interests change as I explore everything I’m able to, and so I graduated from the University of Central Florida Spring 2018 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies – Journalism and Psychology, and a Minor in Digital Media. During my last semester in college I interned with Playground City, a nonprofit focused on making education playful, and accepted a position as Program Director months after. Working with Playground City has shown me the importance of learning and growth and has kickstarted a passion for education. I believe if we change the way people learn, in and out of schools, we can change the world. I am so thankful for this opportunity to work with my community to become the best me I can be, and push others to do the same!
In 2019, I took a position with KIPP Colorado Schools in Denver as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Facilitator. I founded The Herbal Alchemist in 2021 as a side hustle from my Denver studio apartment. In 2022, I took a leap of faith to build my business full time and relocated to Oakland California. I’m constantly astonished by how The Herbal Alchemist has transformed! This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.
