My life has been driven by the power of storytelling. With degrees in English and Photography from Duke University and a certificate from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, I’m an observer and creative analyst at heart. I seek out little moments of intimacy, connection, and emotion, and strive to create photos that reflect the authenticity of the present while lasting a lifetime.

Based in New York City (and born and raised in Queens).
