She has a rich connection with the natural world, growing up on the beaches in Florida. And after years of working in the fashion industry, it has become her calling to use her gifts to protect the environment by creating art that speaks to its preservation.
In 2018 she launched her eco-ethical brand Holding Court, which is dedicated to sustainability in fashion and is consistently provoking conversation through art, film, and her writing. When not on set or word-smithing, you can find her traveling the world with nothing but a suitcase, conspiring new creative projects. Her zest for life and inherent curiosity have instilled in her a lust for wanting more and leaving no stone unturned.
