I'm a young professional living in the City of Poughkeepsie and working for Scenic Hudson. I'm a lifelong Hudson Valley resident. My hobbies include birding, skiing, hiking, working on cars, and playing acoustic music. I also direct the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association, a non-profit musical association focused on elevating bluegrass music and musicians in the Hudson Valley through jams educational events, and concerts.
Freelance scenic artist by day, author/ illustrator by night, and art skills instructor in between. Experienced in set design, prop styling, and crew management. Member of USA 829 and SCBWI. Pretty darn good at drawing, and talking about making things.
I am a collage artist available for brand collaborations, editorial work, art direction, and art licensing.
After a decade in renewable energy finance, I founded Big Emotions, a somatic coaching and breathwork practice helping people build a more compassionate relationship with their bodies. Certified in Somatic Release Breathwork and Focalizing, with IFS-informed training. Here to connect with fellow Hudson Valley creatives, therapists, entrepreneurs, and community builders exploring emotional wellbeing and meaningful work.
