About / Contact

I'm a freelance photographer based in West Chester, Pa. with a focus on photojournalism and portraiture. I primarily cover the environment, immigration, and family life. When photographing and storytelling for NGOs, I prioritize advocating for justice, empowering community members, and cultivating empathy.

Please reach out if you'd like to collaborate or discuss a project!
