I have many loves in life, but photography was one of the first and has been the longest. The spark of this affair started upon receipt of my first camera at the age of six. A Fisher Price 110 film camera that went with me everywhere. I've been tugged, pulled, and called to capture life, and other loves ever since. As an introvert with a voracious curiosity and desire to truly see people and things - the camera has been my way of connecting.

For the last 14 years I've made things a little more official by taking on corporate photography, freelance projects, event photography, and portrait sessions.In addition to photography, I have created a successful career as an assistant to C-Level executives in a variety of industries and regions.

I am consistently praised for my ability to be the "calm in the storm", adeptness at research and capability to be creative in the execution of work even in deadline driven, high stress environments. My love of photography has always been complemented by my natural tendency to effortlessly plan and organize everything from events, meetings, and complex travel to file systems, social responsibility campaigns, employee engagement plans, procedural launches, etc. I have moved around quite a bit and the benefit is a resulting flexibility, scrappiness, and a diverse set of skills and knowledge that I'm always looking to apply in a creative and rewarding environments.
