In 1989 I was born on Crete in Greece. I moved with my German mother and American father to Freiburg in Germany, not long after my younger brother was born in Neustadt/Aisch near Nürmburg. Around my 7th birthday, in the summer of 1996, my parents divorced and I got a Colombian stepmother and stepbrother. In 2006, right before my 17th birthday, I moved to Louisville, Ky, with my brother, father and stepmother and brother. In Kentucky I graduated high school and received my BFA from Western Kentucky University in 2013. Right after I was accepted into the University of California Davis' graduate program and received my MFA in June of 2015. I now live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area.
