I’m a photographer and editor from Alameda, California, presently based in Phoenix.

I’m currently working as a Photography Assistant for the Arizona Cardinals.

I spent the summer of 2023 as a Photo Intern for The San Francisco Standard, and served as a Photo Editor for The Daily Bruin in 2024.

I recently graduated UCLA with a B.S. in Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Computing and a minor in Film, TV and Digital Media.

When I’m not behind a camera, I love playing or watching sports — basketball, football, tennis, pickleball, and climbing are my favorites. I also enjoy playing word games and cooking (or at least trying to).
