Born in Cleveland, Ohio she first started taking photos at age 9 with a Polaroid 600 and after learning how to shoot and process film at age 13, she never stopped.

A move to NYC to attend the School of Visual Arts led to a job as a studio assistant right after graduation.

After that, she’s been a sales assistant at photo agencies & magazines before finally ending up as a photo editor at Startraksphoto where she’s been for over a decade.
