I moved from the Cleveland area of Ohio to Bellingham, WA in fall 2018. After moving to WA and discovering the beauty of the PNW my passion for photography was reignited and I started to pursue digital photography.

Photography is very personal and important to me because it’s a gift of my sobriety and recovery. I got sober in 2018 a few months before moving to Washington. I have been able to do a lot of personal work and healing and that has opened doors I never imagined with photography. I am grateful and am excited to see how art will continue to evolve for me.

Currently my favorite subjects to photograph are the Milky Way and half underwater shots. I use a waterproof case to get half of the shot underwater and half above. I teach photography classes in Whatcom Co, WA which include field experience (composition and learning to use a DSLR camera) and editing raw photos.

When I’m not doing photography, you’ll find me working in my private practice as a mental health and trauma therapist.
