How did you get into photography?
My path to photography began with my first creative love: music. I set out to study music in college and along the way, I found myself drawn to photography. I felt a sense of purpose behind the camera and ultimately said goodbye to grad school to pursue photography full time!
Ideal happy hour?
Tacos, queso, margaritas (obviously)
Destinations that feel like home?
California: whether it's on the beach in Santa Barbara, wine tasting in Napa, or hiking in Big Sur
30A: my favorite Southeast destination to relax and recharge
Italy: I left my heart in Tuscany with the family who introduced me to limoncello and "la dolce far niente"
You have a travel free week, what are you doing?

Career Highlight?

It was a dream to witness with my own eyes, and document as the sun went down over the water.
