I discovered my passion for photography my 3rd year of high school where I started with darkroom/film photography. As a senior, I participated in a program called Collaborations at the Houston Center for Photography where I got to exhibit my work in the gallery space; Collaborations XV: Gray Matters. This program opened many doors as I got to sell my work, develop my skills & fall deeper in love with photography. After graduating high school, I transitioned into digital photography which opened an entire new realm for me. I was offered a spot in the Houston Center for Photography’s Print Auction in 2017 where my work was exhibited alongside photographers such as Elliot Erwitt and Keith Carter. I was honored to be a guest speaker at the Houston Center for Photography’s Print Auction in 2019, to launch the Learning Center Scholarship for Emerging Photographers. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2020 with a degree in Advertising and a minor in Business Foundations. I am still living in Austin, TX as I continue my photography journey alongside other passions of mine. I hope you like the art I have created this far and that you will consider me the next time you need a professional photographer. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions.
