Hi! I am currently working as a Scientific Imaging Specialist at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. In 2016, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Rochester Institute of Technology majoring in Biomedical Photographic Communications (Scientific Photography) and minoring in Criminal Justice.
Although I love photographing everyday things like people and landscapes, my true passion lies with the unseen.
