I love a lot of things, but especially people and their stories. My passion for photography has grown out of both an extreme attention to detail and a constant longing for beautiful aesthetics. I deeply value simplicity, am fascinated by the human form, and love creating images that tug on our desires to connect with one another. I want to use this art to magnify our authenticity and shine a brighter light on what makes us human. 

I am an extroverted introvert and am constantly fascinated by what I don’t know. My stutter might surprise you at first, but it’s totally cool and it makes me, well, me. I am also a CrossFit coach and I love that these different avenues allow me to constantly witness people exceed their own expectations on a daily basis. I have over one hundred words tattooed on my body, including four in Latin. My Myers-Briggs type is INFJ. My Enneagram is 2w1. And my go-to order at Starbucks is either a black nitro cold brew or a a quad espresso over ice, depending on the time of day. 

I am an enthusiastic, playful soul who’s always felt much older at heart. I have packed my life into a tiny car and driven across the country way too many times. I have both a Bachelor’s and a Masters degree, and am super proud to be the first in my family to complete either. I consider myself an ongoing student and hope to never stop learning new things. My personal mission in this one, precious life is to consistently find ways to empower individuals and help souls feel their worth.

Now you know a little (actually, sort of a lot) about me. So what’s your story? Let’s connect. Let’s have a cup of coffee. Let’s create amazing photographs or art together. I would love to hear about the things that set your heart on fire.
