Born & raised in Los Angeles, I grew up immersed in movies, art, and music. Visual storytelling of cinema in particular has inspired my pursuit of photography.

I fell in love with photojournalism and pursued a degree at San Francisco State University—covering protest, street life, and culture.

Now, living in New York for 12 years, I aim to capture the beauty of the city’s thriving subcultures, while confronting questions of identity in an ever complex world.
