I am a 20-something year old fashion studies scholar, digital content creator, and freelancer on a mission to bridge the gap between academia and the public by empowering students and professionals to share their lives and knowledge online.

I love to work with individuals and brands who are looking to reach new audiences through collaborations and consulting.
