About Me

I’m sporty, positive, and always up for an adventure. Whether I’m running (my true passion!), cycling, hiking, or skiing in the winter, I love being active and soaking up the outdoors. When I’m not moving, you’ll find me reading, journaling, or quoting my favourite movies—romantic comedies, dramas, and sci-fi are my go-tos (think Arrival, Wild, 13 Going on 30, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). A proud Gemini pescatarian, I’m constantly curious, love storytelling, and am always striving to be my best self in health, wellness, and life. Family, friends, and making lasting memories are my heart and soul. Coldplay’s my favourite band (I saw them in Sydney!), and John Mayer's music keeps me inspired—I've seen him three times. I'm excited to start a new chapter in Australia and can't wait for what’s next!

They came, they SAW and they are conquering: Gallery renovations have changed artist-run organization

In a good year the gallery would draw about 38,000 people to ex
