Born and raised in Los Angeles County, I’ve lived and learned in Upstate New York, Ecuador, and Hawaiʻi.

I am a photographer and researcher, inspired by the people and places around me.

No matter what I’m working on, I keep coming back to questions of place, movement, and belonging—what it means to be somewhere, and how we connect to it.

Of all the places you could be, thanks for being here!
