ABOUT

I am a student at the University of Connecticut pursuing a degree in Biological Sciences, a Werth Innovator part of the Freshman Female Founders cohort, and a research fellow at Oneness Technologies. I was homeschooled from Kindergarten, dual-enrolled at 2 universities and 2 community colleges prior to entering college at 16 — by daring to embark on a road no other person has tried before, and the success of my journey encourages me to continue to discover the unexplored. But all along, photography has been my passion throughout my journey.

Since childhood, capturing happy memories has brought me joy, and now photography is my lifelong passion. I enjoy using my creative talent as the photographer and social media manager for the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Historical Society (CVTHS), and was awarded the Outstanding Social Media Management Award, in 2018 which gives me the honor to continue making a difference in my community.  I have given 500+ hours to my community both locally and globally through my passion for photography and the joy of service. I also collaborated with over 35+ start-up brands & companies in marketing and advertising campaigns, and managed and designed HackUConn's Instagram which raised engagement by 1815% in 30 days.
