I'm a freelance photographer and artist living and working in Portland, Oregon.
I spend a lot of time on Palatine Hill, dividing my energy between departments at Lewis & Clark College as the Assistant Rowing Coach and Athletic Communications Assistant. Fall and Spring afternoons, I take to the river with camera in hand and my canine co-pilot.
Before migrating west, I lived and worked in New York City for three years, serving as a coach and photographer for Row New York. I helped to create and tell the visual stories of youth, adaptive, and adult athletes, while working with them on the river to make the sport of rowing more diverse and inclusive. Before that, I was living and working in South Jersey at Nathan Sports Inc., shooting, retouching, and illustrating for the company’s products, product catalogue, and promotional materials. I’ve dabbled in weddings, events, headshots, senior portraits, and maternity.
My photography work has appeared in Rowing Magazine and The SportUp Journal, and I’ve shot for Sport Graphics Rowing Photography, Temple University, Lone Wolf Cycling, Nathan Sports Inc., and Row New York, among others.
I'm a South Jersey native with a degree from Temple University (BFA Photography), where I dabbled in bookmaking, illustration, painting, and darkroom printing. I rowed four years for Temple’s NCAA Division I varsity team, which was an invaluable and transformative experience. I rely heavily on black tea with milk and honey, am a poster-child Virgo, and care deeply about living my values.
