Since circumnavigating the globe on Semester at Sea (2008) during my undergrad, I’ve continued honing my skills as a photographer. My photos have appeared on the cover of Wilmington Magazine twice, as well as in several editorials.

I have a strong network of relationships with several award-winning photojournalists (see below).
