About

I was raised in a one-stoplight farm town in upstate New York (pop. 1,000) where at an early age, the visual arts (and renting movies) became my escape from the mundane. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s in Studio Art from Wesleyan University in 2011, I moved to New York City to freelance in photography and film production.

In 2015, my health unraveled due to years of undiagnosed tick-borne diseases and I met another filmmaker in the same situation at a local doctor’s office. While navigating debilitating symptoms and medical treatment, we co-directed a feature documentary, The Quiet Epidemic, in association with the legendary Pennebaker Hegedus Films. You can watch The Quiet Epidemic and learn more about the film and impact campaign.

After dedicating a quarter of my life to The Quiet Epidemic, people are asking—what’s next? Writing is one of my greatest passions, and during my free time, I am developing a few feature screenplays. I also host Pressure Release, a virtual writing container, to hold space for others who want to develop a writing practice (whether professionally, for fun, and/or for healing).

Although photography is no longer my main focus, I appreciate any opportunity to pick up my cameras. I am most passionate about shooting documentary and portrait photography (especially on film) and for the right projects, I still pull out my cameras.
