My photographic journey has evolved in stages. Over the past 15 years, I have gone from travel snapshots and ID photos of birds to taking wildlife photography more seriously and street scenes in New York through the recent global pandemic. Nowadays I am drawn to anything with personal valence or emotional metaphor.
As such, I shoot a variety of subjects: occasional portraiture, the natural world, and humans in cities. Life in the Anthropocene.
I am proud to have completed work for commission and display in exhibits.
My formal training lies in both international relations and geoscience. In graduate school, I studied Earth's past climate states to inform our current moment on a planet increasingly defined by human impact. Thereafter, I taught secondary biology, chemistry, and environmental science for six years. Now, as a university guidance counselor, I help students to tell their own stories. Although these pursuits seem disparate, I see their common threads as revolving around the narrative. You can find my academic resume on LinkedIn and Google Scholar.
