I graduated from Kent State University with a BFA in photography back in 2024. While managing my academic career, I was also managing my personal and professional career. I started photography when I was 17 years old and have honed my skills since then. Traveling to places such as Wyoming, Florida, and Alaska have opened me to many different cultures both in the natural and human world and I have had the privilege of learning many different genres of photography.

Since graduating Kent State University, I have been steadily growing my photography business into a one-stop media marketing agency for businesses in Columbus, OH. Notable businesses and non-profits I have worked with include but are not limited to: The National Kidney Foundation, Playbook Sports, the National Center for Urban Solutions, Ronald McDonald House of Charities of Central Ohio, Mid-Ohio Food Collective, VARGO Solutions, "Ribbit!" Magazine, and the Grove City Chamber of Commerce. Through these experiences, I learned there is a gap in creating photo and video content and managing social media accounts. This is where I positioned myself as not just a creative freelancer, but a media partner that shoots photos, videos, AND generates a personalized content planner to help grow your business on a monthly basis.

The result of all this: finding work in unexpected (and exciting!) ways, continuing to soak up knowledge through networking events, paneled discussions, and meetings (because we should never stop being students!), and meeting tons of cool people. My hope with all of this is to eventually get to travel and grow my business in other cities, states, and even countries! Content creation, I have found, is a midpoint for all of my interests and I hope to continue diving into as many industries as possible to learn more about those interests and keep things fun.
