Navigating my unorthodox childhood led me to join the ARMY. During my military service, I discovered photography through an interest in styling, modeling, and self-portraiture, developing an appreciation for the creative possibilities of constructing images. After completing my military contract, I pursued higher education.

I hold two bachelor's degrees from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas: Photography and Media Arts, and Communication, with a focus on Advertising and Public Relations.

My professional work combines photography, design, and visual storytelling to communicate brand identity through distinctive styling and creative direction. In my personal practice, I use photography to explore identity and pursue evolving creative interests, with an increasing focus on documentary and fine art photography. A recent documentary project took me over 10,000 miles across the country, revisiting childhood homes and seeing my mother for the first time in 11 years.

Outside of my creative work, I enjoy skateboarding, pole dancing, aerial arts, and yoga. Fitness and wellness are also major interests of mine, and I hold a Group Fitness Instructor certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
