Hello!
It started with a refuge. I was seven years old when my family moved from the urban outskirts of Philadelphia to the bucolic countryside of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. With my childhood home intersecting a wildlife refuge, going outside meant endless places to explore and frequent wildlife sightings. Armed with a sense of adventure and a camera in hand, I spent the next decade exploring and documenting my surroundings.
I'm wildly curious about the natural world and focus my storytelling on science, outdoor pursuits, wildlife and the environment.
I am currently based out of Corvallis, Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest. As an adult, I still follow my sense of curiosity and document my surroundings, but now I work with professional equipment rather than an old 35 mm film camera — though I still own that one too!
When I'm not working I'm usually hiking with my dog, climbing mountains or eating tacos.
I'm also a proud member of the Wild Lens Collective and am currently working for the Center for Biological Diversity.
