She is currently a member of American Eagle’s inaugural AExMe Council. When she was 14-years-old, she discovered that many of her friends from school and online were going through mental illness.

Her work has been featured on Huffington Post, Instagram, Teen Vogue, NowThis News, The Oprah Magazine, USA Today College, and Fox 29 Philly.
