a dreamer,

a Believer.

My life is a testament to the goodness of God and the beautiful whirlwind of experiences that come with it. Driven by faith, love, and the joy of creation, I am a passionate storyteller dedicated to capturing the human spirit.

​

My coursework at the University of Michigan majoring in Communications and Media, combined with past studies in Visual Communications and Photojournalism at The Art Institute of Chicago, provides the framework for my creative endeavors.

​

I thrive on exploration. Past experiences include shooting concerts and festivals across the Midwest and spending a transformative year living in South Korea. These moments, like the open road, retro diners, and the vibrant life of my hometown, continue to inspire me.

​

I love connecting with people and documenting their narratives. My days are spent digging into communications and media studies; my nights are often spent covering local concerts, lens in hand. My goal is simple: to go everywhere, meet everyone, and forever photograph this creative journey.
