In 2009, I followed another lifelong dream and joined the Peace Corps. Stationed in a small village in Armenia, I spent four years working on public health and HIV-related initiatives while photographing the local culture and landscape. After returning to the United States, I earned my Master of Public Health in Global Health from the University of South Florida and later worked with a nonprofit organization focused on reducing HIV and substance use within the community while continuing to photograph people and places.

Today, I combine my passion for photography with a love of travel and human connection. My work focuses on capturing travel experiences, diverse cultures, wildlife, and the stories of small businesses through authentic, meaningful imagery.
