Photography has been my passion since I first picked up a camera at age 11. After living in various European countries for 10 years as a child, I developed an intense fascination and love for varied cultures. At University I majored in International Relations with a focus on Peace & Conflict Resolution and a minor in Photography.

Sometimes the injustice in the world overwhelms me, but ultimately it motivates me. My passion for photography is matched only by my passion to help create a more just and peaceful world. The subjects I choose are often people who show me something meaningful about our existence. I relay these stories to a larger audience with the hope of contributing to increased awareness and insight into the lives of others. Understanding is the first step towards peaceful interactions.
