An explorer and adventure seeker from an early age, I was always willing to share my stories with anyone who would listen. My first exposure to documentary life was as a youngster when our family took part in a televised farming feature that was viewed across Canada; to me this was the big times, a TV crew filming me skipping up the steps of the big yellow school bus.

After years of working in the Non-profit sector, I decided to return to my storytelling roots; however, this time in a photographic voice. Longing to create stories that inspired, built bridges in the communities, and educated people of their surroundings I found myself traveling to the poverty-ridden area of the Mississippi Delta to participate in a documentary photography workshop. Immersing myself into their fascinating deep southern culture I quickly realized that my greatest talents were the ability to connect, listen, and collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds, while creating enduring imagery.

I work as an independent documentarian portraying life unfolding. Producing both personal and commissioned projects, including a museum exhibit and travel articles in the ever-evolving documentary world.
