What started as photography quickly became a outlet and a new way for me to slow down, notice overlooked details, and capture the people and environments around me. Since then, photography has grown into a way for me to develop my own visual style and explore different forms of creative work. 

Since I've continued building from Gabrielino High School’s Ash-A-Wut yearbook, to Vis-A-Vis Studios, leading the Fairway Oasis Marketing team, along with independent projects across photography and videography. 

After graduating from UC Riverside, I’m now looking to pursue a career in photography and videography. I’m interested in opportunities that allow me to continue experimenting creatively, collaborate with others, and produce visual work across brands, music, fashion, and other creative spaces.
