I’m a creative media specialist with experience capturing NCAA Division I athletics and competitive sports. I bring together photography, design, and real-time digital storytelling to highlight the emotion, tradition, and energy behind every moment. I thrive in fast-paced environments where collaboration, intention, and high-quality visuals shape an athlete’s story.
