I was 12 when my father handed me a camera and my life's path was decided. Since then I have continually pursued my dream of becoming a multimedia photojournalist and telling the world's story.

In 2008 I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Southern Maine. Currently, I am studying toward my Master's degree at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in Syracuse, NY.
