I’m a well-rounded, thoughtful and empathetic person working in various digital media to capture and share stories/content that inspires a thoughtful pause, reflection and inspiration, peace or action.
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley of NY, I started dancing at age 3, taking photos around age 7, and learning French at age 12. My first international trip was technically to Canada in 9th or 10th grade, but the one that made all the difference was my first trip to Europe, around 11th grade. It changed everything, when I went on that whirlwind 12-day trip across Ireland, Wales, England and France – my first foreign love. After that, it was all over – I had to keep traveling!
In 2010, I graduated from Ithaca College, fluent in French and with dual Bachelor’s degrees in French and Photography, and a minor in journalism. At this time, I went abroad to France to teach English.
Now, 13 years later, I’ve built a successful freelance business, run 2 half-marathons, hiked 26 miles on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, visited almost 20 countries. Furthermore, I’m speaking fluent Spanish, learning Portuguese (Brazil, I’ve got my eye on you!), dancing Salsa and Bachata, and writing my first book (a memoir).
