hey, I’m regan, it’s nice to meet you!

I am an 20-year old lover of creation, (dance, photo, design, you name it), based in Kansas City, KS and Fort Worth, TX. I have been dancing since I was three-years old but took a five year break in 2014 when I moved to Kansas City from San Diego, California. I began to spark a passion for photography and digital content creation around early 2019, but did not seriously explore it until 2021.

Around 2019 was when I started dancing again, taking recreational classes at my local studio. This, combined with my passion for photo and design, sparked my interest on dance media.

Currently, I am a sophomore at Texas Christian University, where I am pursuing a dual degree in Modern Dance and Strategic Communications. Alongside my strong passions within my majors, I am also involved in various on-campus organizations, such as Frogathon, (a student run organization benefiting Cook’s Children’s Hospital), as well as a proud member of Alpha Kappa Psi.

Outside of school I like to spend my time exploring and growing. I have always been a fond lover of learning and plan on continuing to grow my knowledge of the world. Some of my long term goals are to travel the world and make a travel photography series, as well as dance professionally. Now that you know about me, tell me more about you!

Creation is who I am, and I yearn to explore all different areas of art more closely, with you.
