About

I recently graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in photojournalism and a minor in criminal justice. I had the opportunity to work with St. Louis Public Radio, Cape Cod Times, and Eagle News Online & Syracuse Woman Magazine. I aspire to become a photo editor, and as an adoptee, I am passionate about documenting the adoption process in my future projects.

My grandma’s influence immersed me in a love for photography while my parents extensive book collection sparked my interest in storytelling. Growing up in Syracuse, NY, my personal encounters have driven me to shed light on societal issues.
