About Me
For as long as I can remember, I've always had a camera pointed at me. My dad had a hobby of photography & always used my brother & I as his main focus. I was in beauty pageants from the ages of 3 to 6 and then moved to modeling and getting small roles in movies. As I got older, I realized I didn't enjoy being in front of the camera as much as I was. So I followed in my father's footsteps and decided to stand behind the camera and capture moments from my point of view.
​
From there, I slowly started to branch out into other forms of media, while still keeping up with my photography. In August of 2019, I enrolled at Five Towns College in Dix Hills majoring in Mass Communications with a focus in broadcasting and media. During my time there, I enhanced my behind the scenes skills, but also revisited my time in front of the camera as multiple on-air personalities during newscasts and radio shows. As I progressed at Five Towns, I slowly grew more comfortable in front of the camera as I was behind it.
​
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and pets. I also enjoy finding more ways to enhance my creative abilities like drawing and cooking. I'm a lifelong New York Rangers fan and always love taking a trip to Madison Square Garden for a game. I also follow Formula 1 closely and enjoy playing golf and have recently taken up snowboarding.
MY WORK
PHOTOGRAPHY
"PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE STORY I FAIL TO PUT INTO WORDS." -DESTIN SPARKS
I come from a long line of hockey fans, specifically the New York Rangers. Adopting a love for the sport myself is where I also found a love for sports photography. After finding a liking to sports photography in hockey, I wanted to try and give other forms of photography a go. Since then, I've photographed headshots, weddings, graduations and more. Knowing that I've captured people's most memorable days for eternity will forever be payment enough. Click on the image above or go to "Photography" at the top to check out some of my photos!
