Growing up in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, I often felt like an outsider. Through photography and film, I found a way to make sense of the world around me, sparking my passion for telling stories that connect people across cultures.

I honed my craft at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts before working at a talent agency in Los Angeles. Though immersed in the heart of the entertainment industry, I became disillusioned with Hollywood culture and yearned for something more meaningful. Seeking a fresh start, I packed up my Fiat 500, left the city behind, and moved to Colorado to pursue my dream of becoming a ski photographer.

The mountains became my classroom, where I threw myself into adventure photography and thrived on capturing nature’s raw beauty. Instead of paying rent, I chose to invest in gear and moved into a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 van, embracing a nomadic lifestyle. My camera became my passport, and through it, I connected with people and cultures in ways that deepened my love for storytelling.

Everything shifted when I met my now-husband on a plane between projects. My move back to California marked the start of a new chapter, both personally and professionally. Since then, I’ve worked on some of the most creatively fulfilling projects of my career and have found a deeper balance between work and life.

Today, my work spans a range of high-profile clients, but I’m still driven by the same core belief: that stories have the power to move us, inspire us, and connect us across boundaries.
