“Cheerful woman with quirky companions” is what ChatGPT labeled this image after I finessed it. And honestly, it’s not wrong.

I’m a Raleigh-based creative who loves bringing people together through storytelling, humor, and public spaces. By day, I work in public art and creative placemaking in downtown Raleigh, helping turn the city into a more playful, welcoming place. I’m also the author of the illustrated comedy book All My Friends Are Pregs, a cheeky take on modern womanhood and choice — coming Fall 2027.

I founded Crowded Table Club in 2022 when I moved here from New York to create intentional community and connection, and I’m passionate about helping Raleigh be a safe, supportive space for women and anyone navigating life a little differently.

Lately, you’ll also find me taking comedy classes—because sometimes the best way to process life is to laugh about it - and frankly, it’s the only way a millennial knows how to.
