When my father spent his last week of life battling cancer, I turned to my camera because I felt compelled to honor the depth of that experience when words fell short. That instinct—to witness, to hold, to freeze frame the ephemeral—has shaped my entire life.

I've spent my career as a storyteller: freelance photographer, videographer, and marketer—embodying my belief that the most meaningful work honors the bold, brave, and tender truths that make us human. That conviction eventually led me out of communications and into healthcare where I now work as a Patient Care Tech in the medical/oncology ICU with the goal of becoming an RN.

When I'm not studying my nursing school prerequisites, you can find me in the kitchen bringing culinary visions to life, tending to my garden and pollinator friends, and staying active in our gorgeous PNW landscapes. Reading, writing, music, and my creatures are my lifelines. And I'm lucky to share my cozy homebase with my life partner, a Seattle Firefighter/Paramedic and fellow connoisseur of beauty.
