I am a Denver, Colorado, USA based photographer, writer, avid ice skater, and a board member for the Rocky Mountain Chado nonprofit organization. 

I attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado and obtained a bachelor's degree in Technical Journalism with a Computer Mediated Communication concentration in 2010. I spent three years as the Chief Photographer and Visual Editor of the Rocky Mountain Collegian newspaper.

After interning with the Loveland Reporter Herald and Colorado Springs Gazette, I worked as a full-time staff photojournalist at the Farmington Daily Times in Farmington, New Mexico. My photography work has appeared in the Denver Post, Longmont Times Call, Greeley Tribune, Aurora Sentinel, Durango Herald, and Asian Avenue Magazine, among others. Additionally, I was a team photographer for the Colorado Eagles Pro Hockey Organization for 5 years, where my work appeared on billboards, tickets, calendars, trading cards, and other promotional material.

In 2009, I attended the Eddie Adams Workshop XXII (Team Fuchsia), where I was awarded an assignment with The New York Times, as well as the 2008 Sports Shooter Academy V, where I was co-awarded the inaugural Jack Gruber Teamwork Award. My photography has won numerous awards, including multiple distinctions from the Columbia Scholastic Gold Circle Awards and SPJ Mark of Excellence Awards.

In addition to photography, my feature writing has also been recognized for its excellence. My articles have been published in the Rocky Mountain Collegian and Asian Avenue Magazine, winning awards with both publications, including from the Columbia Scholastic Gold Circle Awards, SPJ Mark of Excellence Awards, and the CSU Journalism Media Festival Cammy Award.

In my free time, I am learning the sport of wild ice skating and am an avid Dance Dance Revolution player.
