I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and a few years ago I realized my strong desire to be a photographer. This passion led me to Turners Falls, Massachusetts where I attended Hallmark Institute of Photography. Having the privilege to go there made my love for photography even stronger. Hallmark provided me with skills ranging from advanced studio lighting, environmental portraiture, commercial tabletop photography, and professional business practices.

 

After graduating from Hallmark in 2012, I came back home to Cleveland where I achieved an Associate of Arts degree in December 2013 and then an Associate of Applied Business in Graphic Design in 2019. Being a part of the graphic design department helped me to continue my knowledge with Adobe programs, rebranding, and creating mock-ups.  

 

Being creative enables me to show my true personality. There is no greater feeling, to me, than the excitement I get when a project finally starts to come together. This is the reason that I strive to be the best photographer and designer I can be every day of my life.
