I love large and small dinner parties, reckless enthusiasm, and riding a non-motorized scooter. In 2008, I joined the Peace Corps after studying Art History and French and moved to Mali, home of photographer Malick Sidibé, where I lived until 2012. From community gardens to map murals and radio education, I loved capturing life around me in conversation, photos, and video and bringing them all together by writing. Now I'm a proud Hyattsville, Maryland resident. By day, I'm a career coach working at the intersection of higher education innovation and workforce development. By night and weekend, I'm a wife, mother, photographer, cinematographer, writer, and curator of tender moments. Let's celebrate yours.
