SPECIALTY
​
I specialize in landscape photography.
I understand and capture built projects that tell memorable and compelling stories.
​
​
BACKGROUND
​
I have a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I received multiple awards and nominations: University Olmsted Scholar, BSLA Honor Award, ASLA Merit Award, James Rose Suburbia Transformed 2.0 Exhibition, BSLA Scholarship, and UMass MLA Scholarships.
​
I pursued photography while working as a designer and became fascinated with documenting built landscapes. My curiosity led me to improve my work through observing people's interactions and recording changes in site materials over time.
TRAINING
​
I practiced landscape architecture at STIMSON and Halvorson Design Partnership, awarding winning landscape architecture firms in the country. While at STIMSON, I worked on the office rebrand identity, new website, and photographed over 30 projects. Additionally, while working as a marketing coordinator, landscape designer and photographer, I helped the office achieving regional awards (12) and national awards (3) within two years.
