What's your typical day like?
"When I'm not working on my Etsy store, ExcavationLA, I'm typically hanging out with 'the boys,' a.k.a. my dog Marcel and my boyfriend Xavier. I always try to go on hikes and catch a friend's art show, too."

How did you score your gig at Wasteland and what's one perk of working there?
"Molly Steele, a model I worked with at American Apparel, recommended me for the position. And Wasteland employees get a pretty awesome discount! I'm a lucky girl."
