PROFESSIONAL
I am a Post-Production Coordinator and photographer with over 6 years of experience in the visual and performing arts sector. My specializations include the development and maintenance of digital asset management systems, project coordination, non-profit arts administration, stewardship, client and donor relations, and corporate philanthropy. In August 2022 I earned my Certified Professional Photographer certification through the PPA while training as a wedding photographer.
CREATIVE
While I enjoy the art of storytelling through photography, I consider myself a Jill of all trades. I am a process driven creative and find the act of creating itself a meditative and therapeutic experience.
Whether I am sewing, photographing, baking, sketching ideas, the act of forcing myself to slow down and fully immerse in the project at hand (literally and figuratively!), is often more rewarding to me than the finished product itself. I love being a student of the craft and the many lessons I learn about the art forms themselves, and myself as a creative.
