How I got to Where I am Now It has been a long intense journey. Many experiences have enlightened me and have drawn me closer to my inner self. From a young age I gravitated towards the arts first with drawing and painting and progressing into video and cameras.

Always fascinated by photography and art I wanted to learn all the skills to be self supportive doing what I love. The Academy of Art is where I pursued motion pictures and television with an emphasis in directing but, shortly switched to cinematography. I would go on to pursue my love for photography in graduate school.

I love playing with cameras and film. I have acquired many new skills and continue to improve others. I found to really enjoy the experimental art of photography because it makes me project more of my inner self, a more deeper form of expression. It is not one subject I am attracted to, but everything the world has to offer me. Everyday, I see something that pulls me in and I snap a photo. I have come to find myself more and more everyday, finding out what is it about this world that makes me love it so visually. I aspire to create and project my visions onto the viewer to show them the world through my eyes.

Unique traits: I can make anything work with practically nothing.
