A look into my life.

Small fun facts

My kitties

I have two male cats. One is a flabby tabby named Tango. He likes warm snuggles and sitting on your face. The other is Tux, who is a tuxedo cat. He thinks he is a tough wild predator and loves going outside (and getting snuggles).

Beekeeping

My mom and I kept honey bees for 9 years until we recently moved. We are hoping to get more soon! Mini fun fact: the average honey bee hive has around 20,000-60,000 bees!

I love flowers.

I am a flower fanatic. They are just too beautiful, colorful, and whimsical for me not to love them. I specifically love wildflower mixes and tropical ones like plumeria.

Bigger Pieces

Gymnastics

I did competitive gymnastics for ten years. I made it to level 9, which is one level before you try to compete in the Olympics or college gymnastics. I retired when I was sixteen because my body was in an extreme amount of pain, and having practice twenty hours a week doesn’t give you much time to have a life.

Entrepreneurship

When I was twelve, I started an organic beeswax lip balm business called Bee Smooth. We had extra beeswax from our honeybee hives, so we messed around with some recipes and ended up starting a whole company. I rebranded Bee Smooth in the summer of 2025 to refresh it, but its purpose remains to raise awareness of honey bees with high-quality self-care.

Painting

I have always loved painting, and watercolor and acrylic have become my favorite mediums. The first image is a watercolor painting I did last year. And the second image is the most recent custom shoe design I did this fall!

Graphic design

Another art form I love is graphic design. The first image is my typography poster that was chosen for the MCC Student Art Exhibition, and the second is candy packaging for a made-up candy brand. Brand identity freelancing is what I hope to do professionally.
