Connections with other individuals form the deepest source of meaning available to humans.

I value raw moments in life over anything else. Ones that allow us to feel free without the strings of the chaotic world. From working as an EMT to helping change the mindset of youth in West Africa, I've come to learn how incredible human connections can be.

I first picked a camera (that was more than my phone) a few years ago as a way to better document trips that my parents and I went on. I hardly knew what any of the settings meant, but I remember the freedom I felt when being able to take pictures of anything and everything I was able to (and I mean EVERYTHING.)

Photography since the start of the COVID pandemic has emerged as a creative outlet for me - one where I don't feel the constraints of equations from my college engineering classes, or the policy/procedures that come with patient EMS care. Today I bring a camera with me almost everywhere I go, because you never know what adventure is right around the corner.
