Juggling a full-time job with a part-time degree, I live somewhere between chaos and creativity. I share my world with a small army of cats and dogs, steal every chance I can to horse ride, and chase waves when the surf calls. I’m easing my way back into the gym, mostly to keep up with all the energy I burn elsewhere. Recently I joined an art class, which feels a bit like coming home—paint-stained hands, ideas everywhere, and the joy of making something just for the sake of it. Life’s busy, but it’s mine, stitched together with animals, saltwater, studies, and a whole lot of colour.
