Originally from, Ktunaxa Territory, Golden, BC, they are now based in Mohkinstiss, Calgary, AB since 2011. She built her creative foundations with a Visual Arts Diploma from Red Deer College before applying them with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing at Mount Royal University.

They're also an introverted sci-fi lover with a penchant for karaoke.

Personal mantra: Leave it better than you found it.
