bio

In the 4th grade, I tried out for my schools chorus. I remember excusing myself to the bathroom and crying a little bit after finding out I was not asked to join. In the 5th grade, I tried out once again and was accepted - mostly because the chorus was performing a 50s medley, and I resembled a fat Elvis. 

I studied microbiology and psychology at the University of Central Florida, but spent more time in the library looking at photography books. A lot of people suggest that I must have a strong connection with my subjects due to my degree in psychology. (A lot of people also forget that you dont learn any useful information in school.) 

I am now living in New York City and couldn’t be happier. I can also be found singing songs by the Smiths very loudly and very out of tune. 

*in 2006 I was included in American Photography 22 

*in 2008 I was selected as one of PDNs 30 emerging photographers, had images included in American Photography 24, and also the PDN photo annual
