Back Story
One day my middle school yearbook teacher sent me to take candid photos of students and faculty in their element. I’ve never looked back.
I'm in a photojournalist state of mind all the time.
I love the challenge of capturing emotion and motion on the fly and telling stories in a single frame.
Jim Marshall, Mary Ellen Mark, and Elliott Erwitt are my favorite photographers. Please don't ask me to F, Mary, Kill them.

Intuitive Interviewer
Going from “Nice to meet you” to getting strangers to share their darkest struggles is my purpose and passion.
It’s not easy to initiate sensitive conversations. I connect with and create solid rapport with strangers, and then confidently lead and skillfully steer the conversation – exploring and extracting major story points, colorful details, drama, and emotion with delicacy and boldness.
I recognize what’s authentic & unique and what’s universal & relatable about interviewees and their circumstances, navigating through the silences and the ramblings. I track the story, understand the timeline, find the connective tissue, and draw out the HOW and the WHY.
