I have always had a passion for creativity, which led me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from Hollins University, graduating with honors in 2007. Throughout my studies, I specialized in photography and film, exploring their captivating realms.
I find immense pleasure and a deep sense of connection in various environments, including the cozy familiarity of my home, the tranquil beauty of parks and gardens, and the delightful interactions with animals, elderly individuals, children, and even the enchanting world of fairies.
My fist photo assignment was photographing my grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary when I was ten.

In the 3rd grade, I became a master of my times tables and put my skills to use by calculating inventory values for my Uncle's hardware store, before handheld calculators were standard.
At the age of 15, while I was a rising sophomore, I started working at the store for three hours every day after school. My main role was as an accounts receivable clerk, but I also took on additional responsibilities.
I processed inventory check-ins, restocked shelves, assisted customers, cut glass, mixed paint, pulled lumber, bagged seed, operated the register, and much more. This experience allowed me to gain extensive knowledge in plumbing, painting, planting, construction, and so many other areas.
