When I moved back to Chicago after school, I felt unsure of myself and my place in life. Then, after taking a chance and putting myself out there, I've been able to live my dream. I couldn't be more thankful for every single person that has given me a chance and supported me. I am still learning so much every day and I cannot wait to see where I go in the years to come 💜⭐️ by @mrea.artistry

2025 !!! What an emotional roller-coaster this year. I said goodbye to beloved friends & my mentor, and moved back to Chicago.

Since moving I've had the most fantastic opportunities. I got to work as crew for the Chicago Lyric Opera, and I've ended the year with Music Theater Works for their production of Annie! Thank you to everyone who has believed in me and pushed me to be the best artist I can be. I miss my Nashville family, but ive met so many great new people since then. I am so grateful. by @mrea.artistry

Well,,,, I did it!!! I graduated @amuanashville 's PMA program today. I've done so much growth over the last 3 years. I couldn't have done it without my amazing instructors, friends, and family. It's so bittersweet, but I am excited to move on to the next chapter.

Thank you for everything 💕 by @mrea.artistry

Something a little different! During my final semester I've had the pleasure of recreating one of my first sculptures at AMUA. The rabbit on the left is from 2 years ago, and the one on the right i did this semester. I resculpted the rabbit, did a matrix mold, and cast the final piece in resin.
