I am a huge advocate for sustainability, plastic-free living, and the conservation, preservation and restoration of the planet. I have a B.S. Biology and B.A. Environmental Studies, with focus in Marine Conservation and Sustainability. I am also a PADI Divemaster with over 200 logged dives from Australia, Bahamas, Fiji, Florida, French Polynesia, Hawai’i, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, Thailand, and Turks and Caicos.
I use my photography to educate individuals and to help with marine and terrestrial conservation. The ocean has my whole heart, and I believe that my photography bridges gaps by telling intricate stories and inspiring positive change. Photography has always been an integral piece to working in biological and conservation field work, as well as scuba diving. Photography not only acts as means for documentation, but also serves the imagination.
I am available for collaborations, partnerships, biological research, conservation and restoration projects, including but not limited to:
Sea Turtle Conservation and Coral Reef Restoration.
