I’m an American multi-media creative and globetrotter, on a mission to live a life of radical authenticity and purpose.
In a tiny town called Rathdrum, Idaho was a young girl who was always sensitive, artistic, and something of a daredevil. Not much changed as an adult, where I quickly faced the insurmountable challenge of trying to live a normal life. I dropped out of college, became a musician, started my own business, fell in love, moved to a different country, traveled alone, and all around lived a spontaneous, chaotic existence.
For much of my life I’ve felt like a failure, with opportunities passing my by that I thought I “should” want, but just didn’t. Nothing felt right, and stepping into a pre-made path seemed like a violation of what I was here for.
All I’ve known is that I’ve wanted the freedom to be totally myself, live a life of adventure, and with any luck – create something that positively impacted others.

My life has always been unconventional and nomadic. My family was on the move since I was a kid, following my dad as he regularly traveled for work. It wasn’t until I was a teenager, however, when international travel became a regular part of my life.
In 2012 I relocated to Spain with my family for a sailboat my parents had just bought. Within a month our entire lives were packed up and shipped to Europe where we’d be for an unknown amount of time. None of us knew how to sail either.
This started a lifelong love of the world and deep desire to explore more of it.
If there’s anything I’ve been blessed and cursed with, it’s a tremendous amount of creative energy.
What does this mean? I still hardly know. But it drives me forward in life.
From singing, playing piano, photography, painting, drawing, writing, videography, and any other way of channeling this energy – I’ve been destined to live a life that revolved around art and expression.
And I’ve only recently decided to stop trying to change this about myself.
1. I’m an INFJ and my Enneagram is 4w3.
2. My goal is to visit every country in the world in my lifetime.
3. One of my biggest bucket-list items is to circumnavigate the world by sailboat.
4. I could eat Thai food every single day.
5. My spirit animal is a jaguar.
6. I’d love to be a film director someday.
7. Legitimately can’t wait to start a family.
8. I can yodel. No you can’t ask me to do it.
9. Despite getting into college just fine, I have a 6th grade education.
10. My favorite book is The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe. Anna Karenina is a close second.
Recorded first demos, got lots of label attention, but didn’t want to be a child pop star. Shortly after said goodbye to an early career in music. Moved to Spain and began traveling throughout Europe.

Fell in love. Landed my dream job at a marketing agency and got to work on some insane accounts. Same year realized I didn’t want a company to dictate where I lived despite how cool the job was.
Launched my own marketing agency, Nordover Creative. Lived a 5-year dream, made money, traveled, but grew too fast and burnt out. Posted my first YouTube video in 4 years.
Got engaged to the love of my life.
