I love to photograph the wild to reveal the personalities we so often overlook! I hope to inspire empathy for even the smallest creature!

It’s hard to pick a favorite type of art to create because I’m such a creative person, I love music, ceramics, painting, videography, and writing. But the one I’m most passionate about is wildlife photography. Taking the time to capture a moment in another creature‘s life is something so special. Plus, the awareness and conservation that come with wildlife photography is an amazing outlet to reach people for the better.
Where do you find inspiration?Foster, Rhode Island, is where I find my greatest inspiration. I do most of my work right in my own backyard, capturing the hummingbirds, eagles, herons, and bobcats that I never would have noticed if I hadn't started taking the time to look. I’m also deeply inspired by my Gigi. Her excitement for wildlife, like her refusal to drive past a bald eagle without stopping, is a constant reminder to lead with compassion and appreciation for the world around me
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, the first thing I’d do is upgrade my gear. I’ve been using my grandpa’s old Canon, which has been great to learn on, but I know that professional equipment would really help my images reach their full potential. Since I’m a college freshman, I’d put the rest of the money toward my education!
