I started GRLSWIRL in February 2018 alongside a small group of women in Venice Beach who just wanted to skate — no pressure, no judgment. I came from a fashion background, having owned my own clothing company before co-founding GRLSWIRL, and that creative energy shaped a lot of who we became as a collective. What started as weekly Tuesday night skates on the boardwalk turned into something much bigger than any of us expected.

Today, I lead a global community and partnerships for GRLSWIRL, working to connect skaters worldwide and expand our reach across continents. Based in Ericeira, Portugal, I spend my time building the infrastructure that allows this community to thrive — from chapter growth to brand partnerships that actually align with our values. Skateboarding has always been my vehicle for connection, and that hasn't changed.
