Born and raised in a small town in Northeastern PA most of my childhood but have moved around quite a bit growing up. I drew creative inspiration from my artistic mother at a young age. Watching and helping her create murals, furniture, and things like jewelry my whole life fostered a sense of creativity that I wouldn't fully realize until later in life when my passion for photography began to flourish. I currently reside in Northern California with my husband of 16 years and our two young children. Recently separating from the Air Force, I decided to pursue my passion of photography. I'm currently taking classes at City College of San Francisco working towards getting an associate degree in Photography to sharpen and expand my creative potential.
