I grew up, and currently live, near Washington DC. I started photography seriously while in high school, winning a number of awards at local and national levels. This recognition afforded me jobs with Sporting Chic and Core Skills LLC, further growing my skills. My photography has been featured on a number of platforms, including The Washington Post and National Geographic. I graduated from St. Olaf College in May of 2022 with a biology major, though I was accepted on an arts scholarship and continued to take various art classes. While there I was the Photography Director for The Olaf Messenger and Head Photographer for The Piper Center.
