About

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Lacking a photography program at my high school, I designed an independent study in which my father, himself an avid photographer, taught me the basics of black and white photography in our converted darkroom. At Yale University, I studied photography under professors such as Lois Conner and Tim Davis and won a fellowship to complete a photographic and written essay of Spain's Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.

After college, I spent two years in Charlotte, North Carolina with the Teach for America program, and have now spent nearly two years in Kumamoto, Japan with the JET program. From July 10 to 25, I will be holding my fifth solo photo show, here in Kumamoto.
