About Me
I’ve been behind the camera since childhood, and into adulthood I had my BFA solo gallery show at San José State University, had a piece selected for display at the CSU Chancellor’s Office, had a group show shortly after, photographed hand-painted scarves by Ellen Brook, and worked with the Peninsula Museum of Art. Today I continue to work in analogue and digital photography with a goal to assist underserved BIPOC communities as well as the LGBTQ+ community through the power of visual storytelling.
Outside of photography, I am deeply involved with local dance communities by advocating for safety and inclusivity in the social dance space in the South Bay, hosting free and accessible outdoor social dance gatherings, and coaching others on how to teach dance. My other interests include sport hunting variegated Monstera deliciosa, obsessing over fountain pens and collecting cool stationery, and playing cozy video games in my aesthetic studio.
