Based in Malibu, California, I am currently pursuing graduate business education with a particular interest in brand identity, development, and the relationship between creative direction and commercial strategy.

​

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in International Relations and a focus on Economics, alongside a longstanding background in fine arts developed through Boston University's School of Fine Arts, Parsons School of Design, and the Siena Art Institute. 

​

Alongside currently attending business school, I am building three independent creative ventures as an ongoing application of what I study: 

​

• CandyDoll explores fitness, lifestyle, and contemporary femininity through brand and content development.

  • CandyDoll · candydollcore.com

• Snowed-usa is my sports photography and film practice, documenting movement across environments ranging from the ocean to the mountains.

  • Snowed · snowedusa.com

• Elxii houses my fine art practice, particularly drawing, portraiture, and visually driven storytelling.

  • Elxii · furelxii.com​

​

My professional background spans media, production, and digital content. At Masterpiece PBS, I gained experience within television production and storytelling, while my work with AdventureWomen included social media and video editing within the travel industry.

​

Across business, photography, and fine art, I am most interested in the same underlying process: taking an idea seriously enough to give it an identity, a structure, and eventually a life of its own.
