ABOUT
Hi! First off thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio website. A little bit about myself, I am a full stack web developer living in New York City and an amateur travel photographer. I have been studying web development through the Flatiron School immersive course. I started photography while living in Thailand. I lived in Thailand from 2012-2015 and worked as a teacher. Before moving abroad, I worked as a personal injury paralegal. I enjoyed working in law but realized that my passions for travel and adventure were not being met. After working there for two years, I packed up my things and bought a one way ticket to South East Asia. During my time there I was able to travel extensively through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, India, Nepal and Myanmar.
​
My inspiration for my web development projects comes from my interest in the intersection of life and technology. My projects are inspired by my life and travels.
​
My photography work is mainly focused on people. I strive to capture moments that are real and reflective of a time and place. I was lucky enough to be in some incredible places, with even more incredible people. My Nepal project ended four days before the devastating earthquake occurred. I captured many of the now decimated religious sites days before it happened. I am always looking for new techniques and ways to build upon my work. Please feel free to leave comments or contact me!
