ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, I moved to Denver, Colorado in 2022. My single mother who took me and my younger sister on spontaneous trips across the desert sparked my curiosity for adventure. My maternal side is from Jackson, Mississippi with roots in Scotland/Germanic Europe. My paternal side originates from Pojoaque, New Mexico where a clash of cultures occurred between my Native American and Hispanic Heritages, as well as I am a member of the Chickasaw nation. My interests include Cultural Anthropology and research displayed through scholarly videos and imagery.
