About

To start, I pretty much am that college kid who has dreamed of traveling the world since before she can remember. When choosing what I wanted to study in college and make a career out of, I knew I had to find something that would let me see the world. I've been playing with cameras and fascinated by photography since before I can remember, so it really just made sense. I got my first digital camera for Christmas in 2002 and from there my addiction just escalated.

I'm now 20-years-old, (soon to be 21) and am wrapping up my junior year at Ohio University studying in the Scripps College of Communication in the School of Visual Communication with a concentration in Photojournalism. I am earning a second degree in the College of Arts and Sciences getting a major in Spanish Language, and a minor in Anthropology.
I was Michigan born and raised, just north west of Detroit. I'll defend my city until the day I die and never stop supporting my Detroit Tigers!

At the ripe age of 18 I moved to Athens, Ohio to attend University, and have since fallen in love with that city more than I ever thought possible.

I've traveled extensively with my family growing up, but unfortunately all within a small region. Many a Caribbean Island have been explored along with 33 US states, and a brief run in with a gas station parking lot in Canada. I've also made it out to Costa Rica with a high school Spanish trip, Roatan, Cozumel, and Belize for a cruise with my friends, and in 2013 to Oaxaca, Mexico with my sister and her college roommate for five weeks working and photographing in a children's home.

Last summer my world expanded far beyond any of those travels though as I moved to Kathmandu, Nepal for a ten week photojournalism internship with The Kathmandu Post and The Kantipur Daily. (With a five day pit stop to India where I saw Delhi and Agra, including the Taj Mahal!)

Over this past December and January I study abroad in Rabat, Morocco studying documentary scriptwriting for the School of Media Arts & Studies. I worked with my best friend on a fascinating story on Mystic Islam, which is "To Be Continued..." at the moment. We had a magnificent month traveling all around Morocco visiting, Marrakesh, Casablanca, Assilah, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fez, and Meknés.

My life dream is to keep traveling and photographing!
