ABOUT ME

My love for the human experience is what guides my passion for capturing images and videos. I believe there is beauty in everything, something to cherish in every moment, and that every second is worthy of being captured. 

​

I have spent the majority of my life in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range where my love for the outdoors began. Days spent exploring what our Earth has to offer ignite my passion, whether that be on a snowboard, mountain bike, or in a pair of hiking boots. The breathtaking views and striking scenery these hobbies have led me to undoubtedly influenced my desire to pick up a camera. There's so much beauty in our world that goes unseen by the vast majority, and I intend to share it.

​

I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Media Studies. During my time on the Central Coast I was able to expand my love for the outdoors, trading in the pine trees and soil for palm trees and sand. Along with this change in scenery came the opportunity to expand my skillset behind the lens, capturing images in the waves of the Pacific Ocean. Surf photography has quickly become one of my favorite avenues in my photography career, as it provides a challenge like no other while combining my two passions: the outdoors and the camera.

​

I love any opportunity to connect with new people, gaining incite into another perspective of our shared reality. Let's connect and create something meaningful.
