Based in Washington, DC, I am both an emergency room nurse and a visual storyteller. My work lives at the intersection of care, observation and expression. My photography, video work and directing has become a language I use to translate awareness into form.

Guided by vision rather than volume, I approach image making cinematically, focusing on story, mood, and presence. I work across portrait and street because I am drawn to people as they are and as they are becoming.

At its core, my work is deliberate and raw. What I offer now is clarity of intention, commitment to grow and respect for the people and stories I engage with. I am building something real and I invite collaborators who value presence and purpose as much as the outcome.
