I’ve been practicing photography since I was young. My dad has been a great photographer for decades. Naturally, I followed in his footsteps wanting to do the same but with my own eyes. I didn’t start taking it super seriously until recently. But I’m young and have many years left of photography, traveling, and exploring ahead of me. I’m no professional, but I am constantly learning about ways to improve my photography and camera skills so I am excited to see where the journey takes me over time.

I am also a student at the University of Central Florida. Finding what is right for me has been hard. But I have goals of doing creative work for Walt Disney Imagineering in the future. I work at Disney’s Animal Kingdom currently as a Kilimanjaro Safaris guide. I am very passionate about my job. Educating guests about nature and wildlife in the way we do it is something I feel very grateful to do.

My love for Disney’s Animal Kingdom has stemmed from my family’s love for Walt Disney World. My mom has been visiting since she was a kid and carried that down to me and my brother (He shot the picture to the right). My passion for Walt Disney World brought me down to Orlando as a student to see what I can do with that passion.

I have goals of advancing my camera skills and my love for conservation in the future to hopefully be able to travel to all corners of the world in the future. But for now, this website here is my best work that I have done so far. Twenty twenty five will be a big year for me project wise, so expect more to come. For now, enjoy the art!
