Poetry: Settled on my Sunset
Sell me a possible world where my mind's made up, Remind me of how the horizon settles the sun At a distance. Or how subtle breezes...

After graduating from ASU with a bachelor of science in Digital Audiences in 2019, I embarked on a freelance journey under the moniker Manic Theory, serving as a Digital Marketing Specialist for grass-roots organizations, indie artists, and socially conscious businesses. Despite all good intentions, I grappled with a moral dilemma, as I noticed a misalignment between my values and the platforms I operated on. This led me to question the nature of businesses and their evolution over time. These wonderings fueled my quest for deeper understanding, prompting me to pursue a second bachelor's degree in Philosophy, which I completed with cum laude honors in 2023. During my studies, I received a scholarship for AI ethic research from Google, focusing on generative AI, art, and identity structures within ASU's Lincoln Center of Applied Ethics.
Combining my academic research with my experience in brand management, I am driven to utilize aesthetic and ethical approaches in media and marketing to foster the connectedness we seek and so desperately need as a global society. Now I am based in Atlanta, GA, and am launching Sense Method, a non-profit consulting and mentorship project with three other powerful women. In the autumn of 2024, I will serve as a Digital Ethics Strategist for individuals and teams in the tech, marketing, and media sectors.
While I maintain a muted online presence (under @avantaxiom), you may find me engaging in philosophical discussions as a barista at my local cafe (Land of a Thousand Hills), hiking Georgia's mountains, curating Spotify playlists with my partner Gonzalo, and supporting local poets and comedian performances on the weekend.

ABOUT
SHE/THEY
Systemic issues surrounding race, gender, ability, class, and species often impact our thoughts and creations subtly, evading immediate awareness and accountability. By cultivating self-awareness, empathy, self and social responsibility, we can actively contribute to a positive shared reality. My mission is to facilitate this understanding, empowering individuals to wield their influence with intentionality. I have joined forces with other women who share this mission, and we aim to illuminate and address injustices ingrained in our society, fostering the unlearning of harmful ideologies and promoting empathy and connection as a collective of consultants and mentors. Starting in autumn of 2024, we will offer our workshop and one-on-one services to global brands, businesses, and independent clients under our non-profit, Sense Method.
