I'm a 34-year-old lifestyle and travel content creator based in Austin, TX. I also happen to be transgender — a part of my identity that informs and empowers the work I do both online and off.
As a lifestyle content creator, I share moments from my everyday life: travel adventures, style finds, fitness progress, advocacy work, new restaurants and bars, and whatever else feels worth capturing. Across platforms, I've built an audience of over 170K people and have partnered with many brands, events, and organizations to highlight things I genuinely love and believe in.
Behind the camera, I'm a creative director and social strategist with 12+ years in design and brand marketing. Most recently I led creative and social for Planet K and Ottobock, and I built a UGC creator program for the fintech startup Daylight.
Offline, I co-run FLAVNT Streetwear with my twin sister — a queer apparel brand that's helped raise and donate over $55,000 to support trans folks seeking gender-affirming care. I also create educational content for the LGBTQIA+ community, speak on panels, write, vlog, and share candidly about my life and transition. My first poetry collection, Ablaze, was published in March 2024 and is available here.
When I'm not online, I'm likely lifting weights, playing in queer sports leagues, or soaking up sun by the water. I love gin, Kelly Clarkson, and always have my next trip on the books.
