I am a nature photographer and marine scientist who aims to inspire a love of Earth's ecosystems through my art.  Previously, I worked as a freelance portrait, event, and sports photographer, with extensive experience in graduation shoots. During my undergraduate studies, I was an assistant photo editor and photographer for UCLA's oldest student-run newspaper, the Daily Bruin, and also worked as a photographer for UCLA Recreation's marketing department. As such, I covered events like protests and collegiate sports competitions. I also dabble in street and architectural photography during my travels.
