All my life, I’ve searched for an answer to the question: “Where is home?”

Sure, my physical home has always been Chicago. But I’ve learned that “home” is more than a place — it’s a feeling, a grounding force. For me, home is not defined by walls or geography, but by the moments where I feel most alive: collaborating with others, creating spaces of belonging, and channeling my creativity into meaningful change. It’s in the laughter shared at community events, the pride of seeing a project come to life, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing that my work contributes to something bigger than myself.

Home is where the heart is — where I feel rooted in my passions, connected to my community, and free to be myself.

That realization has guided my path. Today, I see “home” in the work I do to build community, uplift voices, and create spaces of equity and belonging. My portfolio reflects that journey: from research and marketing to activism and community engagement, each piece is part of how I’ve come to define home — through purpose, creativity, and connection.
