I feel most creatively fulfilled when… I am able to work on something I feel drawn to without an agenda or monetary gain, but because it's something I feel really passionate about

This time last year, I wish I knew… how important it is to step back from the busyness of life and work to pursue the things that fill my life more meaningfully


I'm grateful for… my family, my sweet husband, the most incredible cousins, and thoughtful friends I never knew I'd be able to have
