A Bit About Me

From a young age, photography has been my passion, drawing me toward film and studio work while managing Hofstra University's photography lab. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology from Hofstra and later pursued a master's in social work from Rutgers University. By day, I work as a mental health therapist, specializing in the LGBTQ+ community and neurodivergent individuals, but my love for photography and community building has remained a constant in my life.

 

As an LGBTQ+ individual, I am dedicated to creating a body-positive and safe space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and celebrated. My photography is rooted in nature and capturing fleeting moments—those that can never be replicated. I find beauty in the impermanence of the world, preserving instances of light, movement, and emotion that might otherwise be lost.

 

With experience in film and studio photography, I offer mentorship, workshops, and studio/darkroom rentals to help others grow in their craft. My goal is to cultivate a strong creative community where artists can collaborate, share resources, and uplift one another.

 

Originally from New Jersey, I now call the Glens Falls, NY area home, where I live with my two dogs, Poppy and Olive, and my cat, Gemma.
