Growing up on Maui has given me a deep appreciation for adventure and the outdoors. If there is anywhere I would rather be, it is in the ocean. When I am not behind the lens, I enjoy surfing, diving, kiteboarding, hiking, and traveling.

I have always had a passion for activism and protecting the natural environment. At USC, I studied Environmental Science with a concentration in Business. I hope to combine my passions for photography, adventure, and protection of the natural environment in projects that bring the three together, to inspire activism and awareness. As a photographer, I feel successful when one of my images makes a person take a moment to rethink what is possible.

I want to inspire people to go outside, to enjoy life, to explore.
