Hello! I was born and raised in the Berkshires area of western Massachusetts. I obtained my BFA in the spring of 2023 from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), in Rochester, New York, where I studied photojournalism. I am based in Rochester, Minnesota and work as a staff photojournalist for the Rochester Post Bulletin. Previously, I interned for the Rapid City Journal in South Dakota and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in Pennsylvania. I spent the last year of school working on my senior capstone project at RIT called “I’m Always Here” which is a photo/audio slideshow exploring my friend Sydney’s bond with her young niece Addilyn. Overall, through my documentary work I hope to tell the stories of people in a respectful and impacting way. I enjoy working with people and getting to know their stories as everyone has something different and unique to share. Beyond photographing, I love going on Sunday drives, weight lifting, rock climbing, and exploring other artistic mediums such as sewing, quilting, and alternative photographic processes.
