About

I am a creative, editorial photographer with over 8 years of experience producing top-tier portraits in studio and outdoor settings. My hands-on expertise spans scheduling, set design, shooting, and editing, ensuring every project exceeds client expectations. Alongside my photography work, I am a self-taught web designer skilled in managing WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace profiles, creating visually appealing and functional websites. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at North Seattle College, I am passionate about blending my technical skills in Python, Java, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS with my creative background to build innovative digital solutions. As a Web Developer at North Seattle College, I focus on designing user-friendly, responsive websites while ensuring accessibility and performance. My volunteer work as the first lead web designer for Ignition Northwest, a Seattle-based nonprofit, further highlights my ability to lead projects and deliver impactful results. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am dedicated to giving back to my community as a CPR-certified first responder, volunteering with organizations like Conscious Crew and Care Crew since 2017. Whether through technology, creativity, or service, I strive to make a meaningful impact in everything I do.
