I am originally from Washington D.C. and have lived in the greater Boston area as well as southeastern Ohio. I am currently a graduate student at Ohio University where I study documentary photography. I have a B.S. in Journalism from Boston University with a minor in history.
My unorthodox path into photography began when I enrolled in community college during my mid-twenties and picked up a camera for the first time. I found that the power of imagery to relate to our common humanity, is my way to contribute to our world.
My subsequent studies and work have taken me around New England, Appalachia as well Ireland. I am determined to use my work as a platform for others’ stories as I find that the genuine connections we seek to establish with our work are often overlooked in the process of creating it.
I cherish the opportunity to be a documentarian and meet so many different people, many of whom have graciously let me into their lives.
