While working on my undergraduate thesis at a small liberal arts institution in Kentucky, I discovered a profound passion for visual storytelling. I am and have always been captivated by people and their stories, and find photography to be a powerful medium for fostering connection and empathy.  

It is the vulnerability of portraiture that intrigues me most, and the careful act of capturing human stories through cultivating trust with my subjects is a driving force in my work. 

Photography invites me into realms I may not otherwise have access to, providing a platform through which I am able to explore and learn about others and the world in depth and see what narratives emerge. Through my lens, I aim to explore and highlight lesser-known voices with the intent of evoking a visceral response in the viewer. Each frame tells a story, inviting those who interact with my work to feel, reflect, and connect with the rich tapestry of human experiences.

Currently, I am passionate about telling the stories of Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM) practitioners and patients, and aim to create work which will help create awareness, educate, and preserve traditional healing practices.
