Ever since I was young, I've felt a calm, steady focus when I'm truly listening to people. That instinct of noticing subtle expressions, quiet moments, and the emotion beneath them became the foundation of my work as a photographer. I'm drawn to the small, honest details that others might overlook, and I love turning these moments into images that feel real and alive.
Outside of photography, my curiosity has always leaned toward science and understanding people. I studied Biological Sciences at UC Davis, spent time as an EMT, and traveled to Ghana as a part of a Global Health and Sustainability program focused on community healthcare. Those experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with people from all walks of life, which naturally influences how I photograph.
When I'm not with clients or exploring new ideas that inspire my creativity, you'll probably find me in the kitchen firing up something to share with friends and family.
