Since I was 7 years old I’ve always had a camera in my hands. In fact, my mom used to buy me Kodak disposable cameras, (remember, the yellow ones?), once a month while I was growing up — I meticulously planned each of the 27 shots I got in every roll…careful not to waste a single one. In 8th grade, my grandfather gifted me one of his old DSLR cameras — that I still have to this day! My passion for photography began young, and still continues everywhere I go.
As you can see here, I prioritize traveling the world and have been able to experience and photograph different cultures. Additionally, while working for The Foundry, Cleveland’s Community Rowing & Sailing Center, I served as the Marketing & Design manager. In addition to these duties, I served as the in-house photographer as well. Many of my photos went on to be used by US Rowing, US Sailing, and Cleveland Magazine.
