My Story
My journey with plants began in childhood, building forts in the saw palmettos and climbing pine trees of Southeast Florida. Although I temporarily lost my connection to nature after high school and during college, that bond was rekindled when I moved to the Los Angeles area in my late 20s. Surrounded by California’s unique landscape, I immersed myself in hiking, gardening, and learning about local plants, completing several at-home herbal programs along the way.
In 2020, I moved to upstate New York, where I embarked on a two-year apprenticeship with a practicing herbalist, deepening my connection with plants on both a practical and spiritual level. Following this, I completed the three-year clinical program at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism in May 2025. Throughout my training, I’ve also volunteered in medicinal plant gardens, maintained my own herb gardens, and continue to enhance my knowledge through various herbal classes and workshops. I currently work at an organic vegetable farm playing in the dirt.
