Summary

I am a photographer based out of Boulder, Colorado studying Journalism at CU Boulder. I have worked with non-profit organizations and completed hundreds of hours of 1-on-1 photo sessions with numerous clients. I am a skilled Whitewater Kayaker, Skier, and Climber and use these skills to create imagery in the outdoors. I am highly motivated and am hungry to learn as much as possible and am not afraid to ask questions or request clarification. I work well with others and enjoy sharing space with other creatives.
