About me
I’ve always been captivated by stories—first in the pages of books, then in the ones unfolding all around me. When a torn ACL pulled me off the beach volleyball court, I found a new way to stay close to the rhythm of the game: through a camera lens. Photography became my way of seeing the world from every angle—the motion, the quiet, the in-between moments that words sometimes miss. Over time, that same curiosity expanded beyond sports into the stories that shape communities. Whether I’m writing, filming, or taking pictures, I’m driven by the same purpose: to capture truth, connection, and the beauty that exists in everyday life. I’m fascinated by culture—how people live, create, and connect—and how those everyday details weave together into something universal. In every frame or sentence, I try to capture that shared humanity that makes stories worth telling.
