About Me

I am a photographer who focuses on capturing bold and dynamic images. I will be graduating from Drake University May of 2025 with a Bachelors Degree in Advertising and Digital Media Production alongside a minor in Graphic Design. My passion comes from combining these interests to create content that truly speaks.

My Experience

I’m the Photo Director for Drake Mag, an award winning lifestyle magazine publication at Drake University in Des Moines Iowa. I get to lead a team of photographers to create consistent images for the publication and experiment with photographic themes in a publication versus standalone images. I have done photography for a non profit organization, Iowa Youth Outdoors, which focuses on landscape and nature photography. My experience in both of these has created a diverse photography profile and challenged me to experiment with new techniques.
